NiTROACTiVE Posted March 3, 2012 That's pretty cool! I wonder if someday that the world gets so overpopulated, that some people of Earth will start moving to Cassini along with resources to make new cities? That's if Cassini DOES have fresh air like Earth. 0 Share this post Link to post

"At the Dione surface, this atmosphere would only be as dense as Earth's atmosphere 300 miles (480 kilometers) above the surface." 0 Share this post Link to post

Well before living on the planet, we get construction workers in protective spacesuits to build the cities and build giant glass domes and it would turn out like this: Only there would be grass and other plants around it because Cassini doesn't have those. 0 Share this post Link to post

petePESTILENCE Posted March 4, 2012 The dome idea is something I always thought would work as well... But what of meteorites and the such? It would have to be pretty solid material for it not to destroy the dome. 0 Share this post Link to post

It would have to be pretty solid material for it not to destroy the dome. Yeah, the dome would have to be made with a very strong glass to stand meteorites and other things that can break glass. 0 Share this post Link to post

MRB_Doom Posted March 4, 2012 Doom fans might get a boner from reading these quotes, if you like other dimensions and Hell being a part of anything, anywhere. "Miller: Oh. My. God. What happened to your eyes? Dr. Weir: Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see. Miller: What are you talking about? Dr. Weir: I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars, but she's gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure... evil. When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was alive! Look at her, Miller. Isn't she beautiful? Miller: Your "beautiful" ship killed its crew, Doctor. Dr. Weir: Well... now she has another crew. Now she has us." --- Any one else here dare to try make that kind of trip in real life? I would do it just to find out what it would look like in the beyond. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted March 4, 2012 printz said:By that you mean a computer chip? No, HAL merely relayed the message. Okay so since people don't know their sci-fi classics. 2010: Odyssey Two ends with Jupiter turning into another sun, which will warm up its moons and turn them into habitable worlds, and humans are given this message: "ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS—EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE." In the movie version, the message is a bit longer: "ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS—EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE. USE THEM TOGETHER. USE THEM IN PEACE." That's why MRB and I have been referencing. 0 Share this post Link to post

GreyGhost Posted March 5, 2012 Don't need it.The NASA article said: "Dione's oxygen appears to derive from either solar photons or energetic particles from space bombarding the moon's water ice surface and liberating oxygen molecules, Tokar said." 0 Share this post Link to post
