Titan
Saturn’s moon Titan has a very thick atmosphere coupled with a very low gravity. In fact it is said that human beings could fly simply by flapping their arms about.
Titan is 5,150 km across, compared to 4,879 km for the planet Mercury and 3,474 km for Earth’s moon. Due to the lower gravity conditions it means that its atmosphere is far more extended than Earth’s; even at a distance of 975 km, the Cassini spacecraft had to make adjustments to maintain a stable orbit against atmospheric drag.

Wallpaper’s stigma of being tacky is most certainly now a thing of the past, especially with incredible contemporary wall treatments like these. Gives one the ability to become that much more creative in making your home unique.
Oh. My. God.

The forgotten fourth man on the Moon
Alan LaVern Bean (born March 15, 1932) is a former NASA astronaut, engineer, and painter. Bean was selected to become an astronaut by NASA in 1963 as part of Astronaut Group 3. He made his first flight into space aboard Apollo 12, the second manned mission to land on the Moon, at the age of thirty-seven years in November 1969. During this mission, Bean became the fourth human to walk on the Moon. He made his second and final flight into space before retiring aboard Skylab 3 in 1973, the second manned mission to the Skylab space station. After retiring from the United States Navy in 1975 and NASA in 1981, Bean pursued his interest in painting, depicting various space-related scenes and documenting his own experiences in space as well as that of his fellow Apollo Program astronauts.
