    I think I will enjoy visiting the museum! :)



    Before phasing out to the Big Bang we will take a breaK on Io.
    Mmm...not too sure about this satellite it looks like it has a high rate of cholesterol, lol! :D

    Here we are morphing into our data gathering configuration, making sure it's safe for us to travel normally....Let's take a few samples of Io's soil. :cool:

    We will need our heat shields on just to be safe here are a few specs.

    I don't know. The surface looks like mozzarella cheese to me. Any confirmations?

    Our previous analyses of Jupiter's moon, Io, have detected a high rate of energetic electrons, protons and heavier ions. Great quantities of sulfur were also found. :cool:



    Yep. I installed them today! :)

    Okay, I found more info on Io.
    It would be a good thing to extend our knowledge before
    stepping foot on it. ;)

    Let see...

    Jupiter's moon Io [EYE-oh or EE-oh] is one of the most exotic places in the solar system. It is the most volcanic body known, with lava flows, lava lakes, and giant calderas covering its sulfurous landscape. It has billowing volcanic geysers spewing sulfurous plumes to over 500 kilometers high. Its mountains are much taller than those on Earth, reaching heights of 16 kilometers (52,000 feet).

    Io orbits closer to Jupiter's cloud tops than the moon does to Earth. This places Io within an intense radiation belt that bathes the satellite with energetic electrons, protons, and heavier ions. As the Jovian magnetosphere rotates, it sweeps past Io and strips away about 1,000 kilograms (1 ton) per second of volcanic gases and other materials. This produces a neutral cloud of atoms orbiting with Io as well as a huge, doughnut shaped torus of ions that glow in the ultraviolet. The torus's heavy ions migrate outward, and their pressure inflates the Jovian magnetosphere to more than twice its expected size. Some of the more energetic sulfur and oxygen ions fall along the magnetic field into the planet's atmosphere, resulting in auroras. Io acts as an electrical generator as it moves through Jupiter's magnetic field, developing 400,000 volts across its diameter and generating an electric current of 3 million amperes that flows along the magnetic field to the planet's ionosphere.

    Hey uguel, how about we head over to Mars and check to see if aliens do really exist. :D

    Maybe we have found an endless food source. Looks like we have to break out the oversized space suits!

    We already did. Remember the thread Life on Mars?
    We did not see any martians but three funny guys instead, lol!
    Some might say THEY WERE the Martians though :D

    That is very interesting bigc.
    Are you ready for the landing...
    Do you think that conditions are amenable? o_O

    Just check very closely that the surface is solid and not molten magma, that might not be to much fun.

    We are about to proceed to a smooth landing.... :)

    Thanks to Bigc's anti-gravity shield, our landing was a success! :cool: :D

    with all of the molten magma around I am going to get some samples and see how much of it is noble metals such as gold and platinium ;)

    LOL! :D
    The sulfuric athmosphere of Io made our space ship turned green again.
    But the fuselage remains intact! :p

    Hmmmm I wonder what's on the moon... are there any hot volcanoes? :D
