Anybody else find it to be kind of strange that no new information has been released regarding data analysis of Titan's air and surface? Yes, Nature's newest issue contains pictures and data and conclusions that we already have seen (I love the Internet!).
It is interesting to note that some surface process is adding and removing methane from Titan's atmoshpere. I'm not ready to concede that this process is non-biological. There is no proof either way. The article in Nature just prooves this notion.
We need to go back to Titan with rovers and we need to do it soon. Do you think we can get Paul Allen to help fund this endeavour? NASA will just drag its heavy feet...
Hey, Carmine... Don't stop posting ;) Not commenting doesn't mean not-reading (I wish I could think the same way on my own blog, lol (btw. it's now bilingual :P)). I am somewhere there and I am still watching and waiting for you to write sth. Did u stop..?

If interested in astrobiology, there's a cool blog ("Alien Life"), run by newspaper editor Rob Bignell, which gives daily roundups of the latest news from the various scientific fields that form astrobiology and information about SETI. It's at http://alienlifeblog.blogspot.com/.

Ikari, I haven't stopped thinking about this stuff. Microsoft is using a lot of my mental bandwidth these days and I've gotten off track with the stuff that interests me most in the context of my life outside of the Redmond Castle).
Cara, thanks for the link!
