If you had to pick one planet or moon for a space colony, which would it be?

Callisto, right?

I can't build opulent cloud cities masking an undercurrent of brutality and hypocrisy there.

Ganymede is bathed in Jovian radiation, and is differentiated, meaning getting water and minerals is significantly more difficult than on friendly Callisto.

Callisto is great and all but Ganymede has a magnetosphere and we could tunnel into it and make pressurized habitats under the surface to shield us from what the magnetosphere doesn't.

You'll get about two earth days of chillin' before the giant cloud-mantas latch onto your city and drag it into the deathfog.

Exactly.

And what would one do anyways in a floating cloud city? Not like you're going down to the Venusian surface.

Same thing they would do here. Sit on their rear end staring at their computer, eating cheetos. Only there they would be space cheetos.

That's why tunneling deep below the ground makes so much more sense, from a Goon perspective.

Run a resort town in the style of a bastardized version of Americana, where tourists can buy all sorts of touristy knickknacks like polished rocks and beer steins for a hefty markup.




Then use the money to build on a basement module I never have to leave again so I can sit and watch esports and eat cheetos all day

With all those organics floating around it'd probably smell like poo poo and everyone would give it a nickname like Bowels Moving Castle or something like that.

Badass idea, though. Just a heads up.

It'll sneak in through your airlocks and get dragged in with your space boots. You'll need some industrial grade air fresheners to keep your fortress smelling nice and fresh.

Mercury is a bitch of a planet as well, sticking close to the Sun like that for protection. If it were any closer to any of the gas giants, it'd be considered a moon.

Pluto's pretty cool, out there on the edge not caring what any of the other planets are doing. Pluto's the goon planet of the solar system.
Goon Pluto would complain about being moved from the 'regular planet' ladder to the 'dwarf planet' ladder.
