TRAVEL TUESDAY 541 - SATURN, SOLAR SYSTEM

“Geez, all that money we waste on space exploration; just think how many bombs that would buy!” - Craig Bruce

The ultimate travel destination this week, is an extraterrestrial extravaganza: Imagine yourself on one of the moons of Saturn (it has 285 confirmed moons, the most of any planet in the Solar System!) This location would give you a ringside view (yes, pun intended!) of the most photogenic planet of our solar system… If it were possible to travel there, that is…

Travelling to Saturn is a massive undertaking, with robotic probes like Cassini taking over 7 years to reach the planet (roughly 1.2 billion kilometres away). Human missions are projected to be possible in over 100 years, with travel times likely exceeding a dozen years, relying on advanced propulsion.

Saturn is a gas giant with no solid surface for landing. A spaceship would sink through its thick atmosphere, encountering crushing pressures and extreme temperatures. Future human exploration is more likely to focus on Saturn's moons, such as Titan, which offers possibilities for studying methane lakes and unique, frozen environments.

  2. Oh, that´s a place you have never been there :-). And that is a very lucky planet. For sure...there will never be any man setting his feet on the ground and begin to destroy the environment....I love the looks to the planets and the stars.
    Have a good time
