Hey /sci/, let's work together in this thread and make a list of all astronomical bodies which have more or less significant amounts of water on their surface which can be used by human space colonies. Use Google and Wikipedia if you don't know where to find any information about this topic.

Dibs on Ceres
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_%28dwarf_planet%29#Internal_structure
Peter Thomas of Cornell University has proposed that Ceres has a differentiated interior;[7] its oblateness appears too small for an undifferentiated body, which indicates that it consists of a rocky core overlain with an icy mantle.[7] This 100 km-thick mantle (23–28 percent of Ceres by mass; 50 percent by volume)[49] contains 200 million cubic kilometres of water, which is more than the amount of fresh water on the Earth.[50]

Europa, a moon of Jupiter

Venus!

HUGE amounts of water.

It's just hiding in the clouds of sulfuric acid. With a little input of energy, we can extract TONS of the stuff.

Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter. It's surface is mainly made up of water ice.

[Anonymous No.2924070]

I'm going to Puck Uranus.

It is probably made of a mixture of water ice with the dark material similar to that found in the rings. This dark material is probably made of rocks or radiation processed organics.

+ the name of course

Fun fact: Enceladus has volcanoes which spill out water ice and water vapor all the into the outer space.

Water is the second most common molecule in the universe. Finding it isn't all that difficult.

I quick trip about the oort cloud should sort you out.

[Anonymous No.2924113]

Virtually all of the moons in OP's picture have significant amounts of water on their surface (Except Io and Triton, but I'm not sure)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triton_%28moon%29#Physical_characteristics
>As with Pluto, 55% of Triton's surface is covered with frozen nitrogen, with water ice comprising 15–35% and dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) forming the remaining 10–20%. Trace ices include 0.1% methane and 0.05% carbon monoxide.[4] There could be ammonia on the surface that resulted from possible ammonia dihydrate in the lithosphere.[22] Triton's density implies it is probably about 30–45% water ice, with the remainder being rocky material.[4]

These guys weren't socialists. They labeled themselves socialists, but they weren't.

That poster is very wrong. See:

Also, Hitler didn't even call himself a socialist. The party he belonged to was the opposite end of the spectrum from socialist.

Goddamn it, don't turn this into one of THOSE threads.

Nazis were members of The National Socialist Party. Ironically, Hitler was both anti-communist and anti-capitalist. His economic solution was to take everything needed from other countries by force, expanding Germany's Lebensraum and territory in the process.

The national socialist labour party was very much socalist, however, a different kind of socialism.

Some Historians from England and Russia explain and Goebbels tells NYT they like Lenin...

Sure they are different, but they are all quite retarded, lets stick to liberal capitalism.
