I wrote last week about the strange fact that Titan is the one place beyond Earth where a person could stand outside without a pressure suit, even though the surface sits at roughly minus 179 degrees Celsius. I left that fact sitting there at the time, mostly as a curiosity. It’s worth actually following where it leads, because it turns out a real group of scientists and engineers spent two days in Boulder, Colorado this June doing exactly that.…
