Even with an athmosphere they’d all be far too cold. There’s probably plenty of water ice in the outer asteroids, sufficient to cover Titan to a few feet at least, leaving some terrain exposed, then work on the atmosphere; or introducing oxygen from the same source to turn that methane into CO2 and water (and some other stuff), then using extremophiles to slowly turn most of the CO2 into oxygen. :’) The place would probably need to have a huge mirror in orbit on the “dark” side or at a libration point (or more than one) to collect and direct more solar radiation, iow, no night, but no really full daylight either.

Certainly they're all too cold— and distant. Our own moon is much closer. And of course there's Mars, which has a thin atmosphere. I think we should try and terraform The Red Planet. But of course with Obozo killing off the space program.... God how I hate that little narcissistic prick.
