Saturn's moon Rhea may have a breathable atmosphere
Saturn's moon Rhea may have a breathable atmosphere
Epic :D Hopefully, this will improve space travel in the near future, if we could get a probe there to confirm it, then maybe even people :) |
Wow, exciting. This came right out of the blue. I wonder where this will go?
|
Wow I didnt see that coming! Saturn's moons have the golden touch :P Wonder if we could survive. Though I expect it is too cold :P
|
Too cold to walk around, certainly (-220 to -174 degrees celsius :P ), although the main problem is that the gravity is only 0.26m/s^2 (Earth is 9.8m/s^2 :P )

Gas giants have massive radiation belts around them, so it's not a very good part of space to live in. If the radiation is strong enough there to liberate oxygen from water, anything living there would have to be surrounded by a meter of lead. However, living there would still be possible because water is excellent at blocking radiation. You would just have to live maybe 4 meters under the surface of the ice. Other than that, if you can solve the temperature problem and get food out there, a space colony would be very possible. At least they wouldn't ever run out of water. :D
