Jonny Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Hi guys, I am a planetoid enthusiast and love studying these things. Most of my understanding resides with that of Mars because we have the closest connection with that planet of any other. At the end of the day my fascination rests with extra terrestrial colonization of near habitable worlds (colonizing perfectly habitable worlds is not only unrealistic but boring). I'm primarily looking for all kinds of information on learning about the following: - Terrestrial planet formation - Geochemistry - Geomorphology and hydrology - Speleology - Agriculture and biology I still like books! no really, Google is just a big help, that's all!!

Welcome Jonny, we share many interests including space colonization but I favor artificial colonies instead of planets. I look forward to reading your ideas and sharing mine and others with you.

belovelife Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 SPACE.com -- NASA Mission Could Find Life on Europa looking IO and Europait is an interesting picturesome theories say the reason IO is so volcanicly activeis jupiter's gravity actually causes an effect like waves within the planetand the same with Europaeven though the physical composition of Europa may have lessnuclear reactive elements than IOand IO would have more water (in the form of ice)than IO (IO would evaporate it and gravity would not be able to hold it) now i have seen one of the rockets that is intended to go to Europabut the dream of the mission is kinda held backthe "dream", is to get to the inner oceans and cruse aroundand look for life"this is off topic I'm sorry"(ask i will delete it)the idea is to fly a nuclear reactor to Europamelt to the inner ocean, while spooling a line that connects to a surface communicator module (the ice then freezes aroud said line)once in the ocean, send a submarine to cruse around, (which goeas back and forth to the nuclear power plant for refueling)and test all the varyables in the oceanbasically all the water solubles, volcanic ventilation composition, etc Quote
