The pipeline is going to be a real bear, though.

Economic opportunity? Kudzu farm?

[The Louiswu]

Wow just think of it, instead of $100 a barrel oil we can have $1 million dollar a barrel oil!!!

[Dreagon]

Wasn’t the Nostromo a hydrocarbon processing ship?

So does this have any bearing on the debate about whether oil comes from dead plants and animals?

[xkaydet65]

By the time we develop the technology to get there and bring it back we won’t need those hydrocarbons anymore.

[Toskrin]

Don’t light a match!

Wouldn’t Algore just love it if we started importing and burning carbon from other planets? It would almost be worth the trouble just to make him even more insane.

[A message]

We’ll be destroying the solar system.

No space exploration for oil. /s

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Where do I have to go to stake my claim on Titan?

[william clark]

I’m sure Greenpeace is building a spacecraft as we speak.

[wastedyears]

Let’s get a space convoy going.

I suppose the next Jed Clampett will need a ray gun to be “shoot’n at some food,” huh?

[GreyFriar]

The Audobon society, which gets large revenues from oil wells on land it owns in Louisiana, will probably object to building a pipline or drilling there because it will destroy the environment. “Oil Drilling on our land and we get the money is good, drilling on others land and them getting the money is bad.”

Dinosaurs on Titan?

Or, my theory, hydrocarbons are the basic building block of the universe...

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

They mustta had a alot of dinosaurs up there!

[hosepipe]

AND Yet... no scientists are studing how the natural prodution of hydro carbons is possible.. So that WE can do it.. Might not need fusion if making hydro carbons were easily doable..

[mikeus_maximus]

If we had the technology to get there, we wouldn’t need oil.

[jt2]

Cool!

Here’s what we do...

Fly out there with a gigantic rocket engine that will be powered by the moons hydrocarbons. Light it up, fly it to earth and park it in a geosynchronous orbit, then build the pipeline!
