    Saturns moon. Rhea may have an atmosphere we can breath

    No doubt if its easier to live there rather than terraform mars when we have better propulsion this is gonna be a big hit with future prospectors who will probably die of the elements looking for platinum or something.

    Assuming you don't mind breathing your atmosphere at -200C. Interesting news, but the article uses some misleading wording.

    So it's cold! It's far colder in the space around the European Space Station, but people survive there for months and months on end, despite the lack of gravity and immediate access to new reserves of oxygen (without resupply). Take a few nuclear electric generators with you and you'll be fine.

    Oh, and it's breathe. Why can nobody ever spell this word correctly? It's even pronounced differently. Breath is the stuff that comes out when you breathe.
