ppl think that we are running out of rare earth minerals but when that actually becomes a problem that will be solved by exoplanet mining

While Europa is hella cool, it's no where to make a home. Same for Titan. Whereas Callisto has everything we need. No iron dust like Mars either.

Mariana Horchata posted:it looks like that time i tried to grow All those white splotches are water ice. Also, unlike the solar system's biggest Moon, Ganymede, Callisto is undifferentiated, meaning there are mineral deposits in huge concentrations close to the surface. And consider radiation. A mars colony would have to be underground or heavily shielded due to solar radiation. A colony on Callisto, however, would need only minimal shielding as it sits in a sweet spot between solar and Jovian radiation.

Wouldn't Mars be unlivable even if we terraformed that poo poo because it has two dumb little weak rear end bitch moons that can't stabilize the axial tilt or generate any tidal forces worth a gently caress?

No. If we were able to terraform Mars (big loving if), the atmosphere would persist for any measure of human time. It would take millions and millions of years to burn off a new Martian atmosphere. And one would assume a society able to terraform Mars would be able to continually add to the atmosphere.

Mine every continental divide with nukes and attempt to blast the Earth from the inside.

Boats on Titan lakes, and balloons floating in Titan skis. iirc i read that due to titan's low gravity and relatively thickatmosphere, a person could just strap on wings to their arms and fly around. titan owns bones. also it'd be cool as gently caress to pilot a submarine in those lakes, though submarines are cool no matter where they are so w/e.

Europa owns they made a documentary on it called Europa Report. its about the manned mission to europa a couple years back to see if it has like bacteria life. neil degas tysone is in it and says how great it is and has ice. check it out if you like space and documentaries

I think so - but with the radiation from Saturn you'd die pretty quick. Titan is like an alternate Earth. It's so cold that water ice acts exactly like rock on Earth - there are ice mountains and ice valleys and ice hills and all manner of ice geology. But methane acts like water on Earth so there's clouds and humidity and rain and rivers and lakes and oceans. So cool.

Agreed, drilling into a "tiger stripe" would be exponentially easier then trying to crack the surface of Europa. But I doubt this will happen, ever, due to fear of unpredicted consequences.
