Visions of bright future

Titan hydrocarbon ocean (Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionmaa I will continue with the theme of extraterrestrial lifeforms. And there is another place on the orbiter of Saturn, where could be very primitive lifeforms. But why there is no sign of life in that moon, what lays under red clouds? Or there is no sign of life at the dry surface. In this moon, the living organisms could be under the surface of this world hydrocarbon oceans.The answer would be that this moon’s hydrocarbon seas are so calm. There would be no place, where the organism could developing like it can move to dry ground. Titan by numbers (Picture 2) The calm surface of those hydrocarbon oceans causes the effect that there would not create the layer between sea and dry ground, where the gases from the atmosphere can mix in the ocean liquids, what is made with hydrocarbons like methane. There could be bacteria inside the liquid hydrocarbon, what uses the volcanic temperature to create energy what this cell mig...

Artist's impression of the balloon, that investigates the surface of Titan (Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionma How some animal actually moves its legs might seem not very interesting or relevant knowledge. But this information is the most relevant, when we are creating walking robots, what can move them in extreme difficult landscape. Those next-generation robots can be actually similar than some space probes in 1960’ and 1970’s. They would have similar legs than those landing crafts, what landed on Moon and Mars. But they would have one big difference, those legs would be moving. The next generation space probe would travel across the landscape like some giant spider, and that allows to investigate larger areas than before. The problem with the wheeled bed is problematic, because the wheels need quite a flat base, that they could be used. And if the site of that robot or craft would be on the edge of the sand, the waves would be problematic, because the wheels have so big la...
