I just had to point out April 10th's picture...absolutely breathtaking. To me at least. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Then again, I find astronomy and planetary science utterly fascinating. Then again, maybe my idea of beauty is a litle messed up compared to most people's. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Even on such an inhospitable planet (relatively speaking) there is beauty to be found.

That IS a beautiful picture.....

I can't wait to get over there! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Nice. Almost look green with mold growing on it.

Dang! Can't remember where I read it a few weeks ago, but scientist think they have evidence of the existance of water on a planet.

(I just can't remember)

Enceladus I believe.

Yes, that is beautiful. Nice to visit, wouldn't want to live there, though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I'd love to live there. Just the opportunity of living on another planet, that's an opportunity I'd love to have.

You probably wouldn't have any free time, and the internet costs would be astronomical! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Oh, gimme a decent settlement, with a hydroponics dome, living areas, oxygen filters, power generators, and a computer dome and I'd be most happy to live there. (Plus, if you live there for a certain amount of time, I believe you have the full rights to the planet. Woot! Planet claim! lol)
