Colonizing the Moons

Name: Anonymous 2006-09-06 16:50

Logistics aside, would it really be possible to colonize the moons of the gas giants?

It's my understanding that planets tend to have radiation belts around them.  Would the massive radiation from a planet like Jupiter make it impossible to live on its moons or are some of them outside this belt?  Or could people just live in protected domes of some sort?

Not even close dude. The most expensive component of nuclear power is by FAR the reactors and purification plants themselves; thousands of years worth of uranium to power it is practically free in comparison. Even if you doubled the price of uranium, the cost of nuclear power would go up by only about 5%:

You have no idea what you're talking about; you're clearly just guessing, and have no facts whatsoever to back up anything you're saying.
