You know, in ten or twenty years, we'll come back to videos like this and say 'look at how far we've come in such a short time'. I wish we could figure out how to travel at light speed or faster in my lifetime. If humanity is going to spead to the stars, there are certainly planets better suited than Mars. Then again, maybe we'll learn how to make use of what already exists in our solar system to help fix all we've fucked up.

Titan is, to me, far more interesting than Mars as a potential future space-flight destination (crewed or not): Although its much smaller than Earth (about midway between the diameters of Mars and our Moon), its atmospheric pressures are higher: about half-again Earth’s. That makes building structures much easier, and simplifies radiation shielding. As you pointed out, Titan probably has an underground ocean, which is an incredible opportunity for Biological research. Internal-combustion engines would, conceptually, be possible to run on Titan, but instead of *fuel* tanks, they would have *oxygen* tanks, taking in and burning methane from the air around it!

Both the Europa Clipper and Dragonfly are one of the projects I work on at NASA and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. These are monumental projects that will probably help redefine our understanding of science in general. Now do one on the project LISA. It is a team of satellites that will orbit a million miles apart and will detect gravitational waves in space and time. Further proving Einstein's theory. Or how about the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope - which will replace Hubble and will capture 100 times more of the universe's sky in one capture. It should collect as much data in 6 months as Hubble did in its lifetime. Or you can do some of the boring earth science stuff like PACE which will scan all the earth's water every 3 days and we will know what is living in the water by the color of it. It is one of the most advanced telescopic satellites NASA has ever built. The telescope spins at 6 times per second and uses a spectrometer (measures the colors of light). There are also some cool things like a robot that will refuel satellites in space. There is even talk of refueling ones that are not meant to be refueled by cutting them open. It's a robotic satellite repair technician.

If Dragonfly manages to cover 8km per flight, it really would be impressive. Ingenuity has only managed to fly about 3.5km so far after several flights. The density of the atmosphere Titan has vs Mars makes the dynamics of flight entirely different, so it's not an apples to apples comparison, but it is crazy to think that we can send these vehicles 100's of thousands of miles through space and land them pretty consistently, and then the vehicles themselves take years to cover less distance than most people will while they commute to work haha
@tippyc22 жыл бұрын
I think it comes down to the lift capacity. On Mars, Ingenuity has to work really hard just to lift its own weight. That limits the size of battery it can carry, and in turn the distance it can travel in one go. On Titan, with much thicker atmosphere and lower gravity, it's not working as hard, which means it could carry more batteries and achieve longer flights. There's another aspect to consider: Ingenuity wasn't designed to cover ground. It was designed to fly up several meters and take some pictures. Earth-based quadcopters have no problem hitting 100kph. If you were wiling to accept that kind of speed on Titan, then that 8km flight would last just under 5 minutes. Thats 2x the duration Ingenuity has managed, but only 1/3 the duration you might expect from a decent commercial drone on Earth.
