EasilyConfused posted:It's been a long time since I read Titan, but I don't think the best possible outcome was the destruction of civilization. We're not supposed to get into Science Fiction too much here (I read the RSF posting rules after I posted about Titan) but that's the end of the pessimism, right after that it's like "but here's the incredible flip side of that!" Again, I was probably in a weird head space when I read Titan, it was about 12 years ago and I was in the middle of a catastrophically-falling-apart PhD. I got better, and got my PhD elsewhere. I've got pictures from 2008 - around the time I read Titan - of the research station on Devon Island, in the Canadian High Arctic. At the time, they were testing out some prototype human-habitat modules for future Mars missions, the Haughton Impact Crater is a pretty good stand in for the red planet, the ground looks right but the sky is blue. I wish I could find those photos, they're probably buried on a USB HDD tucked away at home.

Wrt amines like many light organic chemicals they look just like water from a distance. I imagine they must be crisp and refreshing on the tongue.
