'Titan is actually a very reasonable destination for humans': Scientists start mapping out crewed mission to huge Saturn moon

BOULDER, Colorado — After Earth's moon and Mars, where could humans plant their footprints? The "Humans to Titan Summit 2026" was held here on June 11 and June 12 to explore the concept of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, as the next human exploration destination, post-Mars. Researchers looked into how demanding such a trek could be and what would be required to make it, along with next steps to further that ambitious goal. A NASA image of Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
