Thats a very good question.  Even over thousands of year, Neptune has deadly gases.  How would it be made livable?   :hmpf:   :confused:

"The first two thirds of Neptune is composed of a mixture of molten rock, water, liquid ammonia and methane. The outer third is a mixture of heated gases comprised of hydrogen, helium, water and methane. Methane gives Neptune its blue cloud color."
I don't know alot about Science, but isn't it probable for solid rock to exist if Molten rock exists?

It also means that Alligators/Crocodiles are also able to survive on the moon, rather than just the sewers.

I don't know too much about science either, but I'm pretty sure methane is not good for humans.  :laff:  :p

Maybe it was the fact that it was the moon. I mean...c mon..ya cant mess with the moon

During the terraforming craze of the 27th-29th centuries, Al Gore fought to preserve the Moon's current state.  He IS Emperor of the Moon, after all. <g>

I'm pretty sure that in a vacuum, other stuff happens to you besides suffocation (You freeze instantly). How could the farmer on the moon stay alive when he took off his helmet?

I know that, the question was if solid ground could exist.

I agree. After reading your previous post, you do have a point.  If molten rock exists on Neptune, then solid rock might exist.  My understanding is that when solid rock melts, it becomes molten rock, so there must be heat on Neptunre.  That brings us back to the heat issue.  :p   :p   :p

As far as I know, the only solid ground on Neptune is the core.  At that depth, pressure is in the thousands, if not millions of atmospheres, and the temperature is comparable to that of the Sun's surface.  Anywhere with viable pressure and or temperature is in a gaseous part of the planet.

There's a thin atmosphere of pollution from Lunar Park, which stops all of the vacuum-related effects happening but can't support life. I was under the impression that liquids boiled in a vacuum, because there was no pressure keeping the molecules together; however, I'm not sure.

Liquids boil in a vacuum, due to the lack of pressure.  Then, the resulting gas sublimates directly to a solid state, due to the lack of heat.

That's a very interesting point, David, though it gets more confusing the more you think about it.... :rolleyes:

What if the vacuum's warmer than the material's melting point; does the gas still sublimate? The moon can reach daytime temperatures of around 130 degrees centigrade. That seems mighty warm for water to be solid.

I'm learning more here than I have in my Physics class...

I'm pretty sure that has something to do with absolute zero, but I'm not the smartest guy around, so I wouldn't know.  ;)

It would continue to boil until all heat are removed and then sublimate. If the ice is in direct sunlight (and close enough to the Sun, if it's too far away the sunlight would be too scathered) it would eventually disappear entirely because it get a continous supply of energy, which is also why scientists are looking for ice in cracks, deep craters and other place out of reach for the sun.

Incidently that's also why comets develop a tail when they approach the sun, but don't have one at their aphelion (farthest away from the Sun). When a comet have done enough trips around the sun all ice would have disappeared from them.

I would think that because of an increase of greenhouse gasses and an increased elevation, that the people of Earth would be used to less pressure and thinner air...that would sorta explain being able to breathe in low pressure, kind of oxygenated areas. Plus, Neptune and Jupiter are still theoretically solid-centered.

The Neptunian&#8217;s are using their sophisticated technology to create the illusion that their planet is an inhospitable ball of gas in order to keep the aggressive people of the stupid ages away from it. Of course, at some point over the next thousand years our increasing technological advancement will lead us to uncover their ruse and relations will be opened up between our two peoples. Duh.

Here's a little something nobody thought of: Is is possible that the Neptunians and Santa's base are on a moon of Neptune? I know they're solid. Unless of course the Planet Express ship was shown directly going in or out of Neptune's atmosphere, couldn't it just show them flying towards Neptune, and then cuts to a moon?

I don't have the season 3 DVD yet, so I can't look at AToTS to check.

Didn't the neptunians say they were only shrimpy because santa didn't feed them! Plus Elzar is neptunian yet he seems to be doing fine because he is a chef and therefore has a constant supply of food
