    If money were no object, I'd say that they should build a base on the Moon where they can build something to send a crew of, like, 100 people to Mars. Do it all 2001 style with an enormous spinning ring to simulate gravity and all that.

    The one in the main photo, they're calling it "Kliper"? I would have gone with "Orca".

    That paves the way for too many "willy" jokes.


    Space travel in the future is far too serious.

    Surely there's someone out there who has a patent on snapping up patents and suing other companies for infringement.


    ...who can then, of course, go after companies/people such as Cygnus. Sort of a meta frivolous lawsuit thing.

    @FredicvsMaximvs: unless someone has patented making comments about patents on snapping up patents, in which case I raise you one meta level and suggest you consult a good attorney.

    Please forgive me for saything this, but a few months ago, Gizmodo ran a story about some company that was giving away free USB drives to anyone. Does anyone remember that? After signing up, they displayed a message saying it will arrive shortly, with no indication of the size capacity of the drive. I was wondering if anyone has received their drive yet because I haven't heard "squat" from them. Hey Giz, can you run a follow-up story and see if anyone has received anything????

    @SBM_from_LA: Actually, the site said you MAY receive them. IIRC, they have advertising partners. The advertisers decide they want to market to a certain demographic, so they get drives printed with their name, and this company sends drives to the people on their list who match the demo. If you don't match one of their demo's, you don't get one.
