>Mars
radiation, perchlorates, high energy to launch, limited energy sources.
>Europa
HIGH radiation, limited volatiles.
>titan
hydrogen cyanide clouds, far from metal resources ( iron is as rare as gold on titan)
>Venus
sulphuric acid clouds, high temps, can never land, no water.
and now i present to you Triton, the overlooked dark horse of space colonisation.
>Triton
covered by tens to hundreds of metres of nitrogen ice which could be evaporated to give an atmosphere of 0.124 atm (vapour pressure of nitrogen) within a year by spreading dust from Proteus a moon with an albedo "as dark as asphalt" raising temps and sublimating all the nitrogen. this atmosphere is replenished by cryovolcanism and in the past maintained a thick atmosphere for hundreds of millions of years. there are heaps of hydrocarbon volatiles covering the surface too. with a gravity half that of the moon it would be a simply matter to run a gas mining operation on neptune which is the most helium 3 and deuterium concentrated body in the solar system. Triton is also inside the magnetic field of Neptune 25 times stronger magnetosphere than earth but no deadly radiation belts like Jupiter. Neptune is also very close to the kuiper belt which has 200 times the rock, iron and volatiles that the asteroid belt has. i present to you gentlemen that we "Titanform" Triton and conquer the fucking solar system with a monopoly on fusion fuel and mineral resources of the kuiper belt...
The Future of Humanity is on Triton
because because the ambient temperature is lower than the critical point for inexpensive ceramics to become superconductive it becomes feasible to levitate your base for zero energy cost due to persistent currents and quantum locking, this prevents heat loss through the base of your colony and allows the colony to be easily moveable multiple kilometers along a track
another advantage Triton has is that it is directly beside a gas giant that can be used for aerocapture, meaning next to NO extra fuel needs to be packed for deceleration, a reasonable speed of 80km/s would reach Neptune in 2 years then it would decelerate by passing into Neptune atmosphere, resulting in pulling 16 g's for 10 minutes ( survivable for untrained individuals if they faced eyes in against the force and wearing a g suit)
sending back to earth 4.5 tonnes of helium 3 would provide electricity for the entirety of residential energy usage or 27% of annual gross energy consumption, or 180 billion dollars. paying back 100% of colonisation cost within 5 years
I would love to help you in your research Aussiebro, but first I must read some science books
>Forgot about Ganymede and Callisto
>also not aware that Titan is much easier to reach and colonize and actually has an atmosphere
>fedora neckbeard fantasies
>t. country that can never into space
fuck off Abed
There are enough resources in space for us to colonize that.
Terrestrial faggots are the biggest cucks.
Haha space shuttle go boom
very nice thread, have a bump
I will be lurking
only one went boom, and because of that NASA actually had to get their shit together
Too bad they didn't improve the heat shields for landing otherwise Columbia would be here with us today
Cool call me when you need farmers.
>cuntinyou'd
The only reason we are not mining asteroids is because it would aolve literally all our problems, and that is a problem in a scarcity based economy where we only create problems to sell superficial solutions while not advancing anything of worth and existing as a cancer on our host planet.

>believing in space in 2020
seasons on Titan are fucked up
i meant Triton
forgive us, for our souls are weighed down by gravity
What are they like?
FOOL! FOOLISH FOOL! Everyone knows that our real home is on
I thought 2 went boom.
Ganymede is in the radiation belt of Jupiter and you would experience a fatal dose of radiation within 24 hours, you cant profitably mine Jupiter either because of the gravity well, titan has an atmosphere yes but Triton could be givena 0.13 bars atmosphere that makes heat loss more manageable ( you would lose heat 4 times faster on titan) and the gravity well is much larger on Saturn and titan that for Neptune and triton making it more energy efficient, also Saturn is 6 times less helium 3 dense as Neptune. Callisto is just Ganymede but no radiation and has no atmosphere, triton could be given an atmosphere by sprinkling 25,000 tones of aerographite made on side from 160 rocket payloads of toluene and shot using a large confetti gun using heated nitrogen ice for pressure
challenger went boom going up, columbia got fried coming back
You get it. And in time, enough other human beings will get it. Then, we will begin the Great Work.
what the fuck do u mean? there are very little in the way of resources required to colonize triton and all can be generated IN SITU, also the kuiper belt has 200 times the mass of the asteroid belt u dumb fuck
Typical Amerishart engineering
The time is coming when you will choose between supporting human survival and resisting it. Those who resist will be genocided. No peace is necessary between men and devils. If you would hold back humanity, then you must die.
first was faulty O-rings on solid state booster (should really stop using them guys), the second was because the heat shield was punctured from a block of ice before take off, which is why side-mounted shuttle is inferior to top-mounted staging
theres nothing wrong with seasons on Triton, we will be shooting 25000 tones of graphite over the place from a large potato gun like structure raising the temperature by 15-20 Celsius and reaching the triple point of nitrogen creating a atmosphere of 0.124 bars and liquid nitrogen lakes covering 35-55 % of the planet and we will live on the remaining methane, co2 and water ice "continents"
but I don't want to be born in Gaynemede and be called a faggot by default :(
just become a cop and lose your arm in the process and start a bounty hunter crew
then you wont be a faggot
