Next flight is scheduled for Titan, which is a lot easier. The gravity is lower, but there's a lot more atmosphere, which means our helicopter can be nuclear powered!
Or leg powered. The gravity is so low and the atmosphere so thick a pilot could pedal power a Cessna Skyhawk. Until he froze to death.
That can be solved with some good leg warmer.
I mean flying on Titan would be so easily theoretically a guy with really big wings could reasonably flap himself around
Run out and find me a guy with really big wings, I've got a job for him.
