Setting up home around Saturn

It may have similariti­es with Earth, but what would it really be like to live on Titan?

-

1 What a view

From some areas of Titan, around a third of the view will be taken up by Saturn.

2 Red giant

Residents on Titan would see the Sun as a huge, vivid red ball.

3 A lovely atmosphere

The thick atmosphere is 1,000 kilometres (621 miles) high, compared to 100 kilometres (62 miles) on Earth, making deliveries easy.

4 Indoor life

People living on Titan would live indoors where the environmen­t can be better regulated.

5 Lots of lakes

Lakes on Titan could be used for transport and, by using dams and gates, power generation.

6 Suiting up

A spacesuit is only needed to breathe and keep warm. Walking will be like trekking through pillows.
