Thanks, it helps -- so the collapse of the ice roof is the squeezer?

- re: forget life...What about scooping up the water and using it to create rocket fuel while in orbit of saturn? - Scott Evil - 3/10/2006 2:38:58 PM
  - More engineering trouble than it's worth to do it. - Jacob Samorodin - 3/11/2006 12:36:46 AM

    - Outstanding idea JimO - Buck Galaxy - 3/10/2006 7:18:47 AM
    - I like the suggestion of a Stardust-type mission to Enceladus - pwokenyaw - 3/10/2006 4:26:35 AM
  - My guess is it's related to the high percentage of organic material in Comet Wild (n/t) - Buck Galaxy - 3/9/2006 5:33:32 PM
    - I am guessing Enceladus keep supplies Saturn's rings with icy material. (n/t) - REB - 3/9/2006 6:14:13 PM
      - rLooks like Enceladus is the source for the E-ring. - REB - 3/10/2006 7:49:01 PM
      - re: But how could this have happened since Enceladus was orbiting Saturn, with such a small mass? (n/t) - Raoul - 3/9/2006 10:02:28 PM
        
        Enceladus probably was much larger in the past... - REB - 3/9/2006 10:20:52 PM
        
        re: And remain spherical inspite of its size? (n/t) - Raoul - 3/10/2006 6:36:54 AM
        
        That is the main reason I think Enceladus is basically a large drop of water with an icy crust. - REB - 3/10/2006 1:07:48 PM
        
        Not a small core - Adam - 3/13/2006 9:33:30 PM
    - Looks like that's not it: NASA's Cassini spacecraft may have found evidence of liquid water reservoirs that erupt in Yellowstone-like geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus. (n/t) - Buck Galaxy - 3/9/2006 5:45:44 PM
      - The outer solar system will be prime real estate for space colonies. - Lee - 3/9/2006 8:06:17 PM

    - What forces the water out? - JimO - 3/9/2006 7:14:44 PM
      - My guess would be tidal forces, like on Io. - alcaray - 3/10/2006 3:47:36 PM

        So what makes the geysers on Triton? - ljk - 3/9/2006 8:44:46 PM
        
        re: So what makes the geysers on Triton? - btw, yes it's primarily due to tidal heating. (n/t) - Marcia - 3/11/2006 2:53:42 AM
