Not to fan flames, but it also might be wise to consider some of the possible implications of Juramike's Titan soil fluid absorption/surface consistency experiment.
I'm not totally convinced that we understand Titan well enough yet to make conclusive choices with respect to surface exploration methodologies. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I'm not totally convinced that we understand Titan well enough yet to make conclusive choices with respect to surface exploration methodologies. Look at the trouble that Phoenix ran into on Mars with soil and ice sampling. Can you imagine trying to guess what material properties to account for when designing a sampling system for Titan? |
