   	I nitpick only to be polite: water can't exist as a liquid on   
   the surface of Titan, but what about underground, in a subtitanian   
   liquid water zone analogous to Ganymede's hypothetical ocean? Am I   
   remembering correctly that a water-ammonia mix can have a melting   
   point as cold as 175ish K?
