Talk:Eve

liquid

the article says that the oceans/lakes are unlikely to be water. i'm not sure if outdated data is involved here, but wolfram alpha says that the boiling point of water at 507 kPa is 2.5° higher than the max surface temperature (150°) listed in the infobox, suggesting that water could very well exist as a liquid on eve. i'll amend that part unless there are any objections. --ant (☎) 15:45, 20 August 2013 (CDT)

Your Wolfram Alpha link doesn't seem to work, but assuming that you did it right I guess water wouldn't boil. Also maybe the temperature values are invalid or outdated. And your link to the talk page was incorrect. — xZise [talk] 17:19, 20 August 2013 (CDT)

weird... this should work. and thanks for the heads-up, something must have gone screwy when i ticked the "treat as wikitext" box. --ant (☎) 18:23, 20 August 2013 (CDT)

Okay this link is now working. And if I read correctly salty water has an even higher boiling point (unfortunately I can't get wolfram alpha to calculate that value). I'll send probe(s) to Eve and check the actual pressure and temperature levels, and if the values in the infobox are correct the section should be rewritten. — xZise [talk] 12:37, 21 August 2013 (CDT)

A few days ago, I flew around Eve by exploiting the game mechanics so that I could use control surfaces for propulsion and stay aloft indefinitely (on a similar principle to the Duna probes seen in this video. Should this be mentioned as a legitimate strategy, or should it stay off the page as a glitch exploit? Ammonia ocean (talk) 22:14, 3 September 2013 (CDT)
