    Just what we need. More space junk we can't see! Just wait till one of these things crashes into a manned space mission at 400,000 MPH. Maybe these Aerospace folks will get the idea.

    Doesn't it ever bug you when they name something first and then find an acronym that'll loosely fit inside it?

    Ahem, there are already a large number of satellites in orbit with a similar goal...

    The last thing I want to have to do on a space station is make a saving throw:


    You try to close the airlock. Make a saving throw against your agility:


    1 Botched Throw: Your bag of chips explodes and, while you float around, munching, you crash into the ant farm. You destroy years of research into ants' ability to sort tiny screws in a weightless environment.


    Failed Throw: James Taylor forces you to listen to his easy listening adult contemporary music, including all of his hits from the Seventies


    Successful Throw: You close the airlock door, saving the supply of Tang from being sucked into the cold pitiless vacuum of space.


    19-20 Critical Hit: You find an inanimate carbon rod and wedge it in the door handle. When you get back to Earth, they throw a parade in honor of a true American hero -


    The Inanimate Carbon Rod

    How exactly do they move around? Doesn't seem like they're big enough to hold allot of fuel.
