Click For Summary
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, presents intriguing possibilities for colonization due to its dense atmosphere and surface lakes of liquid methane and ethane. Some argue that creating a colony under a protective water layer could mitigate the harsh weather conditions on Titan. The discussion highlights the challenges of Titan's extreme cold and atmospheric pressure, which complicate habitation. Additionally, the potential for utilizing local resources, such as hydrocarbons, is considered beneficial for sustaining a colony. Overall, Titan's unique environment offers both opportunities and challenges for future human colonization efforts.

I mean...covering a colony with water seems easier than dealing with the weather on Titan to me.
 

Thread 'Project Progress Report and possible Radio Astronomy Technique?'

Some 8 years ago I posted some experiments using 2 Software Defined Radios slaved to a common clock. The idea was measure small thermal noise by making correlation measurements between the IQ samples from each radio. This is a project that has kinda smoldered in the background where I've made progress in fits and starts. Since most (all?) RA signals are small thermal signals it seemed like the technique should be a natural approach. A recent thread discussing the feasibility of using SDRs to...
