Cassini Spacecraft sends heartening news back to Exxon...

SoYank · 03-24-2008, 04:16 PM

Radar scans of Saturn’s moon Titan suggest that earlier supposition that its entire atmosphere is made up of hydrocarbons, and that it literally rains gasoline and methane now appear to be confirmed.

Estimates vary on how soon the oil industry will develop/acquire their own reusable rocketry.

Gas prices may plummet in, oh, 2155 AD.

How much to create super-sized bucky balls attached to carbon nanotubes to make a hose and bring it all here?

global warming will have owned us way before then. Just .8 more degrees till florida is under water.... (the source on that is the pentagon)

well. . . good for Titan. Interesting though, none the less.

So we won't need anything more than a match to blow up other worlds

Well, it'll take some oxygen. So maybe a tanker full of oxidizer. And a match.

Don't land your rocket like in those old Sci-Fi movies with a tail of fire coming out the bottom

You believe this and yet you drive an M6? I wonder if Al Gore approves...

Look at venus, look at physics and any other sciences. If you think global warming is a myth you are being ignorant to justify your own actions. At least flordia will be the first to go.

I know a woman that went to bejing, ran 3 miles, and lost a lung because of it, look at the greenhouse gasses on venus and how that causes problems. I can barely breath in dallas, but when i go to boulder, or jamaica, or anywhere not polluted i'm fine. Regardless of global warming, cities will eventually be uninhabitable

I'm not saying that global warming isn't true but is seems like someone who drives an M6 wouldn't be an activist for it.

ksfrogman · 03-25-2008, 06:25 PM

Gas prices will plummet if we figure out a way to harness human methane gas.

That would definitely work, think of all of those people driving vehicles with horrible gas mileage as daily drivers.

lol.....venus is a bit extremist .....sure, we are exceeding plants capacities of consuming c02......but we, or our children, will hardly experience significant changes in climate......meh to environmentalists
