Great show last nite on Sci-channel called 95 moons!!!!!!! alot of interesting stuff!!!!!!
They mention due to titans weak gravity and heavy atmosophere you could literally fly with the help of some small-light weight wings and just flap your arms and fly like a BIRD!!!!!!!!!!! That easy!!!!! Imagine that!!!!!!!! how KOOL is that.. however do to jupiters damaging radiation and titans weather about 250 degrees below zero you would probably not have a long flight!!!!!! They also said that on Phobas ( mars moon) you could literally jump a mile into the air or you could stand on the ground and pick up a jumbo jet over your head!!!!!!! pretty cool. Ok had to post this. |

Titan is a moon of Saturn, not Jupiter...
But it does sound pretty cool

And on Phobos, you could jump completely off the moon, into your own orbit around Mars. In fact, if you wanted to stay on the surface you'd have to hang on tight, because Phobos's own gravity is not enough to keep you there.
Phobos is inside Mars's Roche Radius. The tidal forces on the surface of Phobos are actually stronger than Phobos's gravity, and would lift any unattached object right off the surface. |

That is very cool indeed.

that'd be so cool, one could make a fun park out of both places!

A heated, enclosed swimming pool would be entertaining too; imagine how slow and how high the waves could get.
And you could dive in an out of the water (using your artificial wings) like a kingfisher.

eburacum45, you wouldn't even need wings! Just enough up thrust should be enough with your arms!

Yes; unfortunately it would drive them right off the moon.
