I know there's about as much chance of this happening as there is of Keira Knightley ringing me up and asking me to show her the stars on the next clear night, but what a wonderful, wonderful idea...

I have a better idea. Let's fit an ion-thruster to this guy's car, and use it for MSR.
And please spare me the technical difficulties. The car already has seat belts, we 'll use sun lotion and raybans for radiation protection, and there is plenty of space in the back for soil samples. We 're in business baby ! |

Of course you're right. It'd be "fairly easy." -------------------- - Matt

Excuse the late night sarcasm, I am sure most can resonate with the visionary part.
But in the same article, I see that NASA " ...hasn't always been particularly welcoming to outside ideas." That line kind of killed the romance for me ... |
