Solar System moons question (see below)?

Question

If you were given one chance to visit a moon in our solar system, without any harm coming to you....basically being invincible, and able to walk around, and descend through any form of matter at will once there, which moon would you pick and why?

Answer 1

I'd have to go with Titan - liquid on the surface, features that look a lot like lakes, seas, islands, mountains, and valleys.

Who knows - there could be some form of life there (its the only moon we know of so far that has the kind of environment where life could exist on the surface (again, as far as we know).

Answer 2

Rhea

how can someone pass up seeing a ring around a moon around a planet with a ring, all at the same time?!?

Answer 3

Oh goodness that's easy. -- Titan.

Why?

It's the only moon in the solar system with a significant atmosphere.

It's the only moon in the atmosphere with an active liquid transport cycle (like on Earth, it rains, the liquid flows, and forms lakes... just like on Titan).

The Titanian air is dense, and the gravity weak -- > Easy flying.

Answer 4

I have to pick just one?

That's mean.

Titan would be fun - but everyone would go there and it'd be a tourist trap.

Europa has a certain "Arthur C. Clarke" appeal. But I think I'd have to go to Io - if I can be safe and get close to volcanos, then that would be pretty cool....

Answer 5

if nothing were at risk, i'd like to visit Callisto. I just think it's beautiful. and where one side is always facing Jupiter, i'd pick a spot, so i could just to admire the rings of Saturn, my favorite planet. I wouldn't visit one of Saturn's moons, because it's too close to really see the "ring around" the planet.....I'd die happy.

Answer 6

Europa -- as long as I could have a drilling rig that could go through a few dozen kilometers of ice.

Answer 7

The next one that's either scheduled to leave orbit, change orbit, or collide with something else:

So I'd be the first one to know about it.
