Looks sorta boring aside from the potential for trillion-dollar oil wealth.

40 years ago some New-Ager was screaming in my face that we couldn’t be allowed to go into space because we would ruin the entire universe just as we have ruined earth. Outer space must remain pristine for kayakers or somebody equally l33t.

Extracting the oil/gas from Titan is nearly impossible. It would take several decades for a lunar module to arrive there, several more decades to extract the oil/gas, and to bring it back to Earth is another few decades. You're looking at a 100 years, minimum, *EEE will be pushing up daises to the delight of the Mods ROFL* before mankind can assume any resources from it. I'm sure there's a Titan Sierra Club group on the planet as well.

Hard to say how usefull it will be. By the time we get anywhere near being able to send tankers there to get it I doubt we’ll be using it as fuel much. We will likely find other uses for it by then though.

Do you guys remember if Velikovsky predicted lots of Hydrocarbons on other planets as well as a non-life abiogenic process here on earth? It’s been a while since I read “Worlds in Collision” and something about this is rattling around upstairs.

Oh, wait, there's this:
...liquid hydrocarbons in the form of methane and ethane are present on the moon's surface...
...methane is a strong greenhouse gas on Titan as well as on Earth, but there is much more of it on Titan
Scientists believe that methane might be supplied to the atmosphere by venting from the interior in cryovolcanic eruptions.
Like. Wow.
