Re: send humans to Titan, it isn't a question of physics, it's a question of time, technology and commitment

In my opinion, Mars is out of reach for human colonization. Our best bet
is the moon, and people could be ferried in and out like we do with the
ISS.

I strongly suspect that such an engineering project would benefit from or 
require human assistance to troubleshoot and solve unexpected problems such 
as snagged or tangled cables, dirt in connectors or soil unsuited for 
anchors. As a project of noncritical and limited scope it could provide 
experience for a mission to construct a permanent habitat whether it 
succeeds or fails. However a good location for it may not be accessible from 
a base near the South Pole.
