Ill bite.
Why Titan?

>-179 °C surface temperature
>most likely to host life

>>10566144
>1.5 times atospheric pressure of earth
>size and mass between earth and moon
>icy and rocky ground
>LITERALLY methane seas
>carbohydrates on surface
>LITERALLY called titan

>>10566150
feel free to suggest others
you wont win against Titan

>>10566132
What is the most likely place to find my keys and why is it under this streetlight?

>>10566150
>surface temp
Its warmed by tidal forces, not the sun.

>>10566132
Its a literal BRAAAP planet.

>>10566260
because humans are visual creatures

>>10566132
We will find methane breathing crab bros on Titan, check my 2

>>10566156
>>methane seas
life as we know it doesn't live at freaky cold temperatures in liquid *BRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPS*
>>carbohydrates
Bullshit, we ain't found any polymers consisting of sugars, starches, and cellulose on titan
>>icy and rocky ground
there are other icy rock balls out there.
We know, Europa, Enceladus, and Triton have water and are actively spewing it into space. We could fly a probe in to plumes with a net and see if we catch any spess fish. Note: the fish will be turned instantly to sashimi plasma by the impact of the net, but we could analyze the plasma with mass spectrometers to see if biomolecules are present. So basically it's high energy astrobiology.

Titan by Stephen Baxter was a good book. Really enjoyed the ice rockets. The flat earthers taking over the government was funny, oh wait...

>>10566282
>of course it does
>what are carbohydrates

>>10566287
compounds with the formula C_m(H2O)_n
m has to be at least two. Show me the evidence then.

>>10566310
no

>>10566132
>physical object outside of earth

>>10566168
Enceladus. Current lifeforms on earth would be able to survive in its oceans.

>>10566359
Earth atmosphere reaches to the moon, buddy :^)

>>10566262
Still -179 degrees C
