"The Spice"

Turns out Titan's seas are made of sand. I wonder if disjointed Lynchian hushed self-narration logically follows. A sea of sand would have interesting implications for remote probe design like the Rover, which did fairly well in a sandy environment, but if it weren't for some fortunate solar panel cleaning winds, a drastically shorter lifespan. Perhaps in keeping with Dune, robotic worm probes with a Toto soundtrack would be, if not scientifically productive, self-importantly entertaining.
