Propylene on Titan (NASA video)

Very interesting and well animated video about the most recent discovery on Titan:

Very cool! Thanks for posting this.

What I find that is very intresting is that there is a concept known as a carbon planet. While this doesnt persay fit the definition but this is the closest analog for the such concept of carbon planet. You have days were it rains methane in this quazi water cycle with oceans and rivers if methane, and also the formation of types of plastics and gases like propane after each cycle. We need to study titan more! Its so faciniating!

I agree. And I hope we'll get a Titan analogue in KSP (low gravity, thick atmosphere, some lakes, moon of the second gas giant).

NovaSilisko talks about it on Planet Ideas and Names for the future of kerbal space program forum. I think he describes it for the 3rd Gas Giant/Planet. Also is he a dev or is he just throwing ideas out there?

Some general concepts for changes and addition that are drifting around my head (not to say this is the way they'll be though, we've all gotta generally agree what to implement and this is just my take! Plus discovery mechanics and hence the rest of the system won't happen for many updates)

So nothing to be excited about for now But yeah, this Fonso looks kinda like Titan.

Have you seen the stream that NovaSilisko talks about were they show the 2nd Gas Giant and some of the mechanics of the moons?

NASA: "Hey guys! There's plastics on Titan."

And that was the day NASA got a trillion dollars to put men on Titan.

I wish. I would love NASA to send a man to titan. ;(

NASA: "Hey guys! There's oil on Titan."

And that was the day NASA got a trillion dollars to put men on Titan.

I do believe that's more plausible

NovaSilisko... Also is he a dev or is he just throwing ideas out there?

In his title, it says developer on leave; and in fact, if you look back, you'll see he made some of the planets back in .17 and some of the parts in .16, .18, etc.
