I Vote For Titan

REB — 2/23/2009 7:38:07 PM (archived)

On Titan we get to study alien Meteorology. We also get possible alien plate tectonics and a methane cycle similar to our water cycle.

Titan could have a second world below its surface. It could have a water mantel similar to Europa with ice volcanoes on the surface.
