Titan, Saturn's largest Moon, has the potential to be an ideal location for human colonization and exploration within our Solar System, along with Mars (though Mars' prospects have gotten less rosy lately). Some even argue that, besides Earth, Titan is the only place suitable for human colonization in our celestial neighborhood.
