Why there will be no known life form in the moon Titan?

I will continue with the theme of extraterrestrial lifeforms. And there is another place on the orbiter of Saturn, where could be very primitive lifeforms. But why there is no sign of life in that moon, what lays under red clouds? Or there is no sign of life at the dry surface. In this moon, the living organisms could be under the surface of this world hydrocarbon oceans.The answer would be that this moon’s hydrocarbon seas are so calm. There would be no place, where the organism could developing like it can move to dry ground.

The calm surface of those hydrocarbon oceans causes the effect that there would not create the layer between sea and dry ground, where the gases from the atmosphere can mix in the ocean liquids, what is made with hydrocarbons like methane. There could be bacteria inside the liquid hydrocarbon, what uses the volcanic temperature to create energy what this cell might need to create the sugars. But when we are thinking about the temperature and other conditions in that strange world, we must say that the only esoteric lifeforms are very primitive organisms what might be very similar to our cyanobacterial.


If they exist, they will live very slowly and all chemical reactions of this world could be extremely slow. Titan seems the very good place for manned spaceflight, but of course, the flight to there will take very long time. And how fantastic place this moon is depended is those hydrocarbons connected the oxygen. If there is oxygen in the atmosphere, there could breathe with using active carbon filters, what makes the equipment of astronauts easier to carry. But this flight to Titan will be possible in the distant future.


In this distant future might be stable colonies on our planet system and the trip to Saturn might be made from the colonies of the Asteroid belt and moons of Jupiter. And the astronauts, who will make that trip, might ever visit Earth. This scenario the solar system would populate by jumping planet to planet. And the trip to Saturn would not accomplish until stable colonies have been established to orbiter of Jupiter and its moons.

Transistor shaped miniature robots are maybe investigating the surface of Titan moon in the future

How some animal actually moves its legs might seem not very interesting or relevant knowledge. But this information is the most relevant, when we are creating walking robots, what can move them in extreme difficult landscape. Those next-generation robots can be actually similar than some space probes in 1960’ and 1970’s. They would have similar legs than those landing crafts, what landed on Moon and Mars. But they would have one big difference, those legs would be moving.


The next generation space probe would travel across the landscape like some giant spider, and that allows to investigate larger areas than before. The problem with the wheeled bed is problematic, because the wheels need quite a flat base, that they could be used. And if the site of that robot or craft would be on the edge of the sand, the waves would be problematic, because the wheels have so big layer, that waves can tip the machine.


In the wave line of the coast is needed a robot, what can stand in place in heavy waves. That’s why the engineer must copy the same solution, what the crayfish or some bugs use when they are living near the sea. This kind of robots would be sent to the Saturn giant moon Titan, to investigate the hydrocarbon seas of that moon. There might be found the bacteriological organisms, or some other explanations, why there are no other known living planets like Earth?


Maybe Titan can give the answer, why we are so lucky, that we don’t have competitors in our own solar system. The robots what could be sent to that strange world are might be sized and shaped similar to old-time transistors. They can be delivered from the balloon, what might investigate this giant moon in the future. And they would be sent there even thousands. Those miniature space probes would be the masterpiece of integrated microcircuits, and they could cover very large areas of that moon. Their mission would find interesting places for bigger lenders, what have more sophisticated laboratories and capacity to analyze the preparation.


But the problem is that those bigger laboratories need safe places to land. The preparations would be taken from the surface of that planet, and that’s why there would need the miniature probes to investigate and locate the place where might be found amino acids or marks of living organisms. That’s why there would be lots of miniature probes would deliver to the Titan surface. And if some of them see something interesting, the bigger probe would land in that place or near it. Then the laboratory would walk to the place, where is the marks of bacteria if smaller probes would find this kind of thing, and then call the bigger ones to make the more sharp investigation to make sure, that the finding is actually some bacteria.
