why waste so much effort on such a tiny moon?
It might become raw material for terraforming process. Terraformer 03:51, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
Even though it's small it could comfortably fit 60% of Earth's population
obviously you are not seeing this problem the way many terraforming backers do. habitable area does not mean terraformable or even colonizable one. it is much smaller than out moon whose G forces are 1/17th of the earth (being 1). read a book or two on the subject, non-science fiction. then write me what they may be... i will test your grasp of the information otherwise you are like a child banging on a keyboard and demanding terraforming of everything you point your finger at. i will not have any of this here.
by the way, i'd prefer it if you use a signature. it shows when and who left a message here

Okay I don't have the math on this so this might be impossible due to the pressure and weight, but would it be possible to irrigate (relatively) Hot water halfway from a Geyser to an Artificial bubble in the Ice that way have a lake (Or a miniature Ocean), and have a Facility that separates the Hydrogen and oxygen atoms from the Water and have Emergency Oxygen. With the same mechanism it may be possible to filter out the ammonia and other (possibly dangerous) Materials saturated in the water. This all could be powered by a Nuclear reactor and use the cold native water to act as the cooling source that could also help warm up both the colony and the sub-ocean, and after centuries it may warm the water enouh near these reactors that we may be able to add Life typicly found at the bottom of the ocean, however there will be major engineering problems with this, if someone can elp me work out some of these problems that would be nice.
