Why there will be no known life form in the moon Titan?

I will continue with the theme of extraterrestrial lifeforms. And there is another place on the orbiter of Saturn, where could be very primitive lifeforms. But why there is no sign of life in that moon, what lays under red clouds? Or there is no sign of life at the dry surface. In this moon, the living organisms could be under the surface of this world hydrocarbon oceans.The answer would be that this moon’s hydrocarbon seas are so calm. There would be no place, where the organism could developing like it can move to dry ground.

The calm surface of those hydrocarbon oceans causes the effect that there would not create the layer between sea and dry ground, where the gases from the atmosphere can mix in the ocean liquids, what is made with hydrocarbons like methane. There could be bacteria inside the liquid hydrocarbon, what uses the volcanic temperature to create energy what this cell might need to create the sugars. But when we are thinking about the temperature and other conditions in that strange world, we must say that the only esoteric lifeforms are very primitive organisms what might be very similar to our cyanobacterial.


If they exist, they will live very slowly and all chemical reactions of this world could be extremely slow. Titan seems the very good place for manned spaceflight, but of course, the flight to there will take very long time. And how fantastic place this moon is depended is those hydrocarbons connected the oxygen. If there is oxygen in the atmosphere, there could breathe with using active carbon filters, what makes the equipment of astronauts easier to carry. But this flight to Titan will be possible in the distant future.


In this distant future might be stable colonies on our planet system and the trip to Saturn might be made from the colonies of the Asteroid belt and moons of Jupiter. And the astronauts, who will make that trip, might ever visit Earth. This scenario the solar system would populate by jumping planet to planet. And the trip to Saturn would not accomplish until stable colonies have been established to orbiter of Jupiter and its moons.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
