This is a documentary about the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and its moons. Scientists from both the NASA and ESA worked together to succesfully get two machines to find out what the conditions are like on Saturn and Titan. A little while later after they got Cassini-Huygens orbiting Saturn, Huygens separated from the Cassini orbiter and went on its way to descent onto the surface of Titan. This was one of the most crucial parts of the mission, as the friction with the atmosphere would turn Huygens into a fireball of more than 11,000 degrees Celsius.

Well in the short period of time between when the sun expands to encompass the Earth, and then shrinks back dowm, I imagine the climate would be livable if we'd been terraforming for a while. Won't really be around to see if I'm right though, so it's king of a moot point.

Good docu.

That was great. I'm sure in the future humans will be living on Titan, if we survive long enough.
