...well, I'm sure that Orion will get at least one article in there over the next few years, so you're forgiven!
The very thought of a manned Onion mission is gastrically & olofactorally disturbing, though; half the payload would have to consist of antacids & the other half of gas-mask filters. Plus one hell of a heat-resistant coating...we don't want it to be "bloomin'" on reentry... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
