A look at Saturn's largest moon Titan as NASA's unveils ambitious new proposal to sail a nuclear robot ship on it. Titan practically beckons to a boat-shaped mission with the many lakes crowding its northern hemisphere. Average temperatures hover around -292 degrees Fahrenheit, and methane drizzles from the clouds into liquid ethane lakes. READ: Will Nuclear Robot Ship Sail Saturn's Moon?
