Is it me or should we send a probe to Titan or Europa to see what's down there?

.-Nyx say: Its in the works. Expect at least 10 more years before a mission. http://www.jpl.nasa.......

Cheers!

PhotonX say: Absolutely, though it may bear pointing out that the only reason we know as much as we do about either world is because we have already sent probes there, including a lander on Titan. Should we learn more? Sure. I was hoping to see a Europa landing within my lifetime, but it doesn't look like that's going to be the case. It's all a question of budgets.

You have the courtesy to use apostrophes and real words, so you're doing far better than many knobs we see here.

Jason say: Working on it.

The Huygens probe landed on Titan in 2004. It will likely be awhile before we get back there but there is strong interest in both Titan and Enceladus.

The Europa Clipper is in development and is supposed to launch in the early 2020's (no launch date set).

Stephen say: Tempting though it is, I would be concerned about contamination.

Perhaps a return trip to the Moon or to Mars first, to see how contaminated that is?

CarolOklaNola say: We DID send a probe to Saturn and to see what's down there YEARS ago. the probe was called Cassini and the probe that landed on Titan was called Huygens..We've also sent probes to Europa and there will be more in the future, probably.

You are doing far better on your phone than I usually do on mine or my tablet, which I am just about to replace.
