Mining methane on Titan is science fiction and economically laughable.

So were the flying machine, steam power, electricity, and million other technological advances.

There are massive gas methane deposits in off all the continental tectonic margins on earth and we are just beginning to understand how they are formed.

There is an international effort to understand these deposits and come up with a possible model for extraction. (Google IODP , Methane Hydrates)

Rule number one in the resource industry: if it can't be done economically on earth then it can't be done economically anywhere else.
