    It's a great find but I find them making correlation to plastic a bit overstated. It's sort of like them claiming "We've found evidence of water" "well, we found hydrogen and with a few chemical reactions it would be water".

      Agreed, they imply so much that is not accurate. For example, stating that on Earth we get propylene from oil is technically true, but oil is not the only source of the material as that statement implies. As they do say in the article, it is one of the simplest molecules - but they did not finish that comment by noting it commonly occurs in nature.

        They also failed to point out that propylene is also a by product of corn. Thats how generalized this report is, only looking for something to burn in their engines. This could be from ancient civilizations corn fields.

          I think I know a team of experts we send there to check it out. They are currently doing nothing. No I don't mean laid off Fed Employees.

              Yeah, but what if they find out that Titan is warming ?
