Now if they only knew how to put this in a car.

Heehee - put that in a car and those astronauts would be Twittering from the surface of Mars before you got it up to walking pace.

I am telling you all - the stars are ours!

My god, it's full of stars.

Bah, I wantses it now.

Bleh - it's nothing new. Ion drives have been around almost as long as Star Trek anyway, and in many different forms, too.

So, they're getting more powerful and efficient? They bloody-well should be by now! :P

I was lead to believe you humans would be visiting my homeworld by 2020 - we've got a party planned and everything, so don't be late.

Seriously there's always going to be another propulsion system brewing... we should still already be on Mars ? who cares if we pass ourselves before we get there.

Hello, I now became a member of this community here and I would love to be a part of it. Just enjoy the environment here.
