The gravity is really low you could probably use a cold gas thruster to get off the surface.

>>8993507
it would still be worth it

it has less gravity than our own moon

How is it going to blow up again?

>>8993507
>The entire moon will basically blow up the second the fire from the engine ignites upon leaving the moon, due to all of the gasoline in the atmosphere
I never had chemistry in highschool and I know that that is bullshit.

how are is there gasoline without dead things to make petrol to begin with?
this sounds like bs

Because it blows up when an ignition source hits it. We are just lucky no asteroids have streaked through it. That thing is a powder keg weighting for a mouse to fart.

>>8994119
*how is there

>>8994121
>blows up

through which chemical reaction anon?

>>8994151
Anon probably thinks that the sun burns as well, so im not holding my breath for the answer

>>8994119
Titan's atmospheric composition in the stratosphere is 98.4% nitrogen with the remaining 1.6% composed mostly of methane (1.4%) and hydrogen (0.1–0.2%).[9] There are trace amounts of other hydrocarbons, such as ethane, diacetylene, methylacetylene, acetylene and propane, and of other gases, such as cyanoacetylene, hydrogen cyanide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, cyanogen, argon and helium.[8] The hydrocarbons are thought to form in Titan's upper atmosphere in reactions resulting from the breakup of methane by the Sun's ultraviolet light, producing a thick orange smog.[38]

you're right it is bullshit, the atmosphere is mostly nitrogen with a small amount of methane and trace amounts of other hydrocarbons (octane is not even listed)

there's probably enough to get a good harvest of carbon fuel if could get to it easily but it's probably be too much trouble otherwise

>no oxygen

How's it supposed to explode anon?

>>8993507
There are no moons around saturn or jupiter as far as I've sen in my research.,

they are only visible because of Catholic priest Galileo's hypothesis supporting kabbalistic theism as an acceptable means to practice the Jesuit/catholic faith through astronomical thesis.

The very physics required to make this possible throws heliocentic theory on it's face when appropriately broken apart and analyzed by the varying gravitational pulls required to explain the perfectly spherical nature of these extra-planetary moon images being presented.

>>8993507
There's no oxygen for combustion you baka. The energy necessary to get the gasoline from titan to earth is greater than the energy the gasoline provides

>>8993507
I don't think that bringing extra gasoline on earth would be a great idea, think about all the extra pollution you're gonna have. Bringing extra-resources from other planets to ours will be a great problem in the future, you can't just fill earth with all resources you want without putting on risk its balance.
And no, it wouldn't explode because there's no oxidising on its atmosphere

Not OP but consider this. Why bring it back to Earth. Finding a way to harvest that fuel could possibly be beneficial for deeper space exploration, or supporting a some sort of space station in that region.

Bringing it back to Earth, not so much.

>>8994151
N2 -> 2N
N + gasoline = heat
Of course it'll blow up inwards because the reaction needs the heat from its blowing up to decompose the diatomic nitrogen.

>>8995156
>>8993507
Well of course the gasoline would be invaluable in synthesizing organic compounds and manufacturing plastic in space.

All this talk about gasoline and shit, but you guys do remember that gasoline is basically just a cleaner liquid version of coal that's essentially dinosaur juice, right?

>>8995210
That's one way to get it but not the only way.
Also, it's swamp juice, there very little dinosaur in it by weight.

>>8993507
Why not just stay in orbit, lower a tube into the atmosphere and suck the gas up? No need to land.

>>8993507
How the hell has that thing's atmosphere not been blown away by solar winds yet?

>>8995237
I'm glad you asked, I believe it's protected by Saturn's magnetic field.

>>8995237
Dispersal. The solar winds aren't nearly as fierce there as they are within Earth range.

>>8995210
I didn't say gas. I said fuel.

You know we have successfully sent a lander to Titan and it didn't cause the whole place to combust, right? Pic related.

Look at all that coal and gasoline.

Luna

im sure im falling for a big ass bait thread.

but where all the oxygen you need to combust this shit lmao

see

Yaweh?

>>8995240

It isn't, it's far enough from the sun that solar wind is too weak to strip off the atmosphere.

>>8995272

Water ice and methane vapor suspended in a nitrogen atmosphere.

>>8993507
Are you retarded? Following that logic any stray meteor burning up in the atmosphere would set the whole moon ablaze.

>be kid in school

now retarded OP think about that last part. A 9 year old would be able to figure it out.
Good luck!

>>8993507
So its got a mixture of short/medium length hydrocarbons? Are they linear, branched or what? You know gasoline is a fossil fuel right?

>>8994273
Don't we lose a bit of stuff thanks to gases escaping Earth's gravity?

>talking about Saturn's moons when NASA doesn't even have the technology to land on the moon anymore

>>8995423
Yahweh, Adonai, Elohim

What an edgy faggot you are

>>8993507
It takes years and serious spacebux to send a vehicle one-way to the Saturn area. Now you're talking about a round-tripper, with a cargo that could explode at any moment. Then there's the issue of maneuvering the ship into the Earth area, unloading the cargo, refining it into useable fuel --- how could this be cost effective?

>>8998879
To be fair if we're already in space then Titan becomes a goldmine of organic compounds.

>>8994169
So if we refine the ethane, we could party on the way home too?

>1.6% composed mostly of methane

You also need something like 12% methane for it to ignite.....if you have an oxygen source that is.

>>8993507
The energy you would expend in launching, landing, collecting the gas, relaunching off Titan, and returning to Earth would probably be greater than if you just converted carbon dioxide and water straight into methane here on earth.

>>8998964
Methane's LEL is 5%, actually, still not enough oxygen though.

>>8998990
I was going by what my gas company has told me on several occasions via their safety videos. Maybe that's for pure methane and their stuff is for natural gas sourced methane which isn't 100% methane?

>>8998995
Yes, 5% is for pure methane while a different mixture would obviously have other considerations. Even in that mixture it would still be 5% for methane though, just that the other flammable materials affect its flammability. Much like how water can affect some material's flammability when they're miscible in one another (ethanol and water).
