And now lakes on Titan...

The Cassini spacecraft has found evidence of liquid in the nothern lakes on Saturn's largest moon Titan though this would be probably liquid methane rather than water. Cassini captured reflection of sunlight from the southern edge of the 150,000 square mile Kraken Mare (NASA).

There is a rather interesting suggestion, by Dr Stofan from University College London and her team from Proxemy Research, of taking a TiME "boat" to Kraken Mare or Ligeia Mare on Titan." The Titan Mare Explorer (TiME), as it is called, may even possibly be "diving in" less than 14 years from now, if only it could hitch a rideto Saturn.

Titan's atmosphere may have some similarities with those of Planet Earth, except that it is methane that replaces water on Titan.

There is no chance of three men in a boat (and to say nothing of the dog) as yet...
