How much O2 would it take to blow up Titan?
J. Paige Dunn replied to Euracil's topic in Science & Spaceflight
That's what I was afraid of, since O2 is only 20% of Earth atmo. I suppose it wouldn't be unreasonable to have oxygen storage tanks in each city. I just don't want go go down to that level of explanatory detail. However, I also don't want someone to read it and say "That can't happen! This writer is an idiot." Thanks Jen -

Hi, I've enjoyed reading this thread so far. I'm currently writing a novel about a settlement on Titan, and this thread was the first thing I found in my search. I don't want to destroy Titan itself; there are several domed cities filled with what is basically Earth atmosphere. The scenario is that Titan has been attacked from outside, and each city's dome has big holes punched in it, but it's basically still intact. Each dome houses 50,000 people, is about 15 stories high, and covers approximately 10 - 15 square kilometers. Anyone care to guess or approximations of whether there would be adequate oxygen to start a firestorm in each domed city?
