Damnit! Who Dropped their Water Bottles on Titan!

Casinni has discovered the chemical propylene in the atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon Titan. The chemical joins others making the atmosphere heavier than thought (I think that's the right way to put that). It is a key ingredient to plastic.

But what it really means is that breathing up there is not going to be easy . . . I guess it will be like smoking a cigarette filter. Or maybe we can make our own plastic crap once we get to Titan in a few years or so.
