However, these seas are filled not with water, but with hydrocarbons like methane and ethane.

They must have had lots of dinosaurs and pre-historic plant life to create all those hydrocarbons....

Titan is a strange, looking-glass version of Earth with a substantial atmosphere and a seasonal cycle. Wind and rain shape the surface to form river channels, seas, dunes and shorelines.

Well there most certainly must be life there!/s

No ethanol?

I don’t want to go then...

Find me the moon that tastes like a good 18 year Oban or even a 15 year Macallan and I’ll finance the journey myself.

This lake sounds like a great vacation destination for certain political hacks currently afflicting and embarrassing us in washtoon, DC. Maybe we can send them up there?

Wait I thought that methane was caused by rotting vegetation, dino’s, organic matter????

Could it be that crude oil will just keep showing up no matter how hard we try to harvest it all?

methane supply is unlimited. Let’s build a methane engine and exploit Titan. Shipping costs will be high.
