Saturn System Moves Oxygen From Enceladus to Titan | International Space Fellowship
Complex interactions between Saturn and its satellites have led scientists using NASA's Cassini spacecraft to a comprehensive model that could explain how oxygen may end up on the surface of Saturn's icy moon Titan. The presence of these oxygen atoms could potentially provide the basis for pre-biological chemistry.


Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

When they use the term Oxygen I assume they mean O2.  If that's the case please remember that you don't need O2 for "prebiological chemistry" just because we live in an atmosphere loaded with O2.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
