About Mission to the Outer Planets
Mission to the Outer Planets is a Terra Invicta technology in SpaceScience with a research cost of 75,000.
Exploration and exploitation of the icy worlds beyond Saturn will bring us closer to reaching the alien base.
There is much still to learn about the farthest and coldest reaches of our solar system, but, if we can reach them, both Uranus and Neptune offer hope for colonization - or, at least, their moons do. Around Uranus, the satellites Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon offer potential for habitation, while the frozen nitrogen surface of Triton, Neptune's largest moon, likely conceals a subsurface ocean. Beyond Neptune's orbit is the Kuiper belt and the Outer Oort cloud, which contain billions, perhaps even trillions of ice-rich objects. We speculate that, among that great assembly, we will find all the ingredients required for life. The outer planets and beyond are also an abundant source of deuterium and helium-3 with which to meet our fuel needs - all the better to push even further outwards, and finally locate the origin of our alien visitors.
