Not Mars or moon, but this NASA scientist suggests us to live on this planet

News24xx.com - If talking about human colony in space, usually the options gave by scientists are the Moon or the planet Mars. But, a NASA technician has more interesting choice. The technician named Janelle Wellons said that humans should consider the moon belonging to the planet Saturn, Titan, as the location of a new colony if the Earth was no longer habitable.

"What if we consider one of the worlds of water in the solar system - Titan" Wellons wrote in a question and answer session on the Reddit forum, as quoted from Futurism, on Tuesday, March 19th 2019. "Titan is Saturn's largest moon, even bigger than Mercury, so I think we can settle down in there with a lot of space."

Wellons was very enthusiastic about this idea. He mentions that Titan's surface is not as bad as estimates, such as the presence of fluids that form lakes and oceans. The liquid that forms the lake and the ocean is made of methane.

But Wellons remained enthusiastic and said that using the right protective clothing people would be able to swim in the sea in Titan. In addition, he also said that Titan's very thick atmosphere would make people's dreams to fly could be realized. "Titan has a thick atmosphere that can protect us from outer space radiation" Wellons wrote.
