Is Avatar's moon realistic?

The new film Avatar sets its lush world, not on a planet, but of a moon. Astronomers say that's not impossible, despite the barren example our own solar system offers. It worked for George Lucas and those annoying Ewoks on the moon Endor, and it could work in real life.

Captain Kirk and his crew had the first hand held communicators (cell phones)and a fax machine. All things are possible I believe!

Science will always surprise us. But remember the predictions in the 50s and 60s? I want my flying car!
