There are over 7 billion humans on Earth, which is a lot, but we are all in the same world, crowded into this planet. Eventually, there will be more humans and less room for all of us.
Space provides earth with valuable metals, rare objects, and precious materials that can be used for researching. Which is why our group decided to focus on Ariel, as it has not escaped our curiosity.
Ariel may not be the Uranus’ biggest satellite nor at the minimum distance for the probe to be sent, but taking into consideration its unique factors, it is certainly captivating. Ariel is geologically active, meaning that it is constantly reshaping because of the impacts caused by asteroids, meteoroids, and comet tails, so its surface is covered with various different craters and canyons; possessing essential and unknown materials tracked down by these space rocks, such as high levels of methane, ammonia, minerals, organic compounds and last, yet not least, water ice.
Grievously the technology needed is far beyond our reach, indicating it is not possible for humankind to live there in the near future, or at least not in such low gravitational environment and cold conditions; nevertheless, Ariel dominates the lowest gravity outstanding among Oberon and Titania, undoubtedly the best option for space mining, accomplishing the probe to achieve an easier research process.
Did you know Ariel is the nearest moon to Uranus between Oberon and Titania?
Crucial factor in view of the moon’s outpost which facilitates translation from Ariel to Uranus, a planet that has been barely explored despite its active atmosphere; Its unique features are meritorious of being explored within any other satellite
Ariel has a great potential and is an ideal candidate for sending a probe and fulfilling future innovating discoveries that Scientists and the humankind might be able to benefit from, so It would be a shame to waste an opportunity like this and throw it away.
