Not very useful now, but a giant gas station in the backwoods of the solar system might come in handy someday.

But I thought oil was from dinosaurs and dead plants over millions of years!

Fossil fuels after all!

Now, all we need is a wormhole between here and there to siphon off some of that black gold for our own use...

(Can I patent the idea of using a wormhole as a giant siphon?)

Can’t use it. The Saturn Caribou use Titan as their mating grounds.

I don’t understand how this makes sense if the theory of abiotic oil on the earth is lunacy. (As it were.)

Interesting. Now if we can only build massive bladders that can suck that place dry and have it remotely controlled seeing as we don’t really have the technology to protect ourselves from Saturn’s radiation.

This article was already posted as a thread and drew all the dinosaur comments anybody ever heard of.

No blood for Titan Oil!

Titan lied, people died!

Titan obviously belongs to the U.S.

Now Congress will pass a bill to make the moons of Saturn Federally protected, so that its precious resources are safe from Big Oil.

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

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.
