We can live on other planets. Part I

There are many planets and even more to discover, and all of them with very hostile conditions different from Earth, it has been speculated that there are also moons that may be habitable such as Titan, Europa, Callisto and Enceladus, but all of them with conditions unfavorable for life.

Titan and Enceladus are very small, Enceladus would have a lot of problems with gravity, because it is only 500 km in diameter, it obviously has water under the icy crust, and that would be its only advantage, but the biggest problem would be how humans would live on Enceladus, It would be disastrous. Titan has a huge advantage and that is that you do not need a pressurized suit to walk around Titan and there are a lot of natural resources on Titan, there is water ice in quantity; As the landscapes of Titan show, when you see photos of Titan, most of the mountains are made of water ice, there is also a lot of organic material, what happens is that it is very cold and there the water ice works like rocks. As you know on Titan there are lakes of hydrocarbons, you have not asked yourself what would happen if you light a match in the lakes of hydrocarbons, well nothing would happen, because to begin with you could not light a match, the fire needs oxygen to burn it is a chemical reaction and There is no oxygen on Titan. The advantage is that by having an atmosphere that is one and a half times the Earth's atmospheric pressure, we could walk around in a very warm suit, but we would not need one that was pressurized as would happen in almost any other place in the solar system, there is only one other place that would be a little better than titan and would be the clouds of Venus.

At about 50 km high, the clouds of Venus could be there with a pleasant temperature of around 30 degrees Celsius and an atmospheric pressure similar to ours. On top of that, we would not have the problem of sulfuric acid, because the acid clouds remain below; The problem is that there is no oxygen in the clouds of Venus either, so we could easily be in a T-shirt but with a mask that will provide us with oxygen. We couldn't be in the sun much because in addition to Venus being closer to the sun than the Earth, Venus doesn't have a protective magnetic field, so we would have quite serious sunburn problems.

While the atmosphere of Mars is very thin, it is basically CO2, of course we could not breathe, there is no oxygen, there are very small traces of oxygen, almost all CO2, and the colonists on Mars unless Terra forms at least one area of ​​Mars would have We would necessarily have to live under domes and we would also have the same problem of the magnetic field that does not exist on Mars, an artificial one would have to be created. Until an artificial one is created, we would have many problems having to go outside because we would receive a lot of solar radiation, and cosmic radiation, which is also dangerous. Cont.
