Saturn's moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth, according to new data from the Cassini spacecraft. |

I thought hydrocarbons were created by living things. Does this mean that there was some sort of life on Titan (plants, algeas and half sealion/half giraffe creatures) |

The majority of hydrocarbons found naturally occur in crude oil, where decomposed organic matter provides an abundance of carbon and hydrogen. |

Titan used to be covered in plum trees and half sealion/half giraffe creatures which from now on I will refer to as "aqua giraffe lions" |

Titan's air is predominantly made up of nitrogen with other hydrocarbon elements which give Titan its orange hue. These hydrocarbon rich elements are the building blocks for amino acids necessary for the formation of life. Scientists believe that Titan's environment may be similar to that of the Earth's before life began putting oxygen into the atmosphere. |

So we just have to wait for the price of oil to reach $10zillion a barrel and we will fit a really big pipe. We will have to keep in mind the aqua giraffe lions habitat though. |

I'm assuming this is just one of those "what if" scenarios... Or is there actually a team of people at NASA trying to figure out how to do this? Wouldn't it just be easier to find an alternate source of energy on earth than going on 1.2billion km errands? |

Another interesting fact: NASA are experimenting with Methane fueled propultion systems. and methane is abundant in the whole universe, which is good news for future space travel |
