Don't argue, just nod and smile as if you know what he's talking about

Back on topic: Is the probe going to look at the Methane Oceans any?

It must smell really bad.

methane is odourless...

 

[Druckles]

no it's not.... methane's the stuff that comes out of gas taps and stinks right?

Heheh, yeah but that has the small added so that we dont all go and gas ourselves.


EDIT: And those pictures rock btw.

 

[Druckles]

They are? Isn't doom 3 like scary with random monsters all over the place inside?

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

no, it's dead now. I belive it had batteries for about 3 hours of transmission, it wasn't a mobile probe. They got kinda luckly that they landed on something solid tbh.

damnit, when the hell do we get to meet a living thing out there XD

Ya, it would have been pretty bad if it landed in a sludge pit or the ocean.

So they send out a probe on a several year trip only to actually last a few hours... man that sucks

lol working on the probe for 15 years, and it took 7 years from earth to titan

This isn't a colour photo, it's just the black and white one with the hue changed!

Conspiracy!

Actually it was built to float, if it had landed in the ocean it was designed to measure water movements, wave height, ocean composition, etc.

In a way it's a shame it didn't land in the ocean, they'd have recorded a lot more data.
