This looks to be really, really cool. I should hope that they would
update it a *little* bit (the moon should be covered with impact
craters, not volcanic, I should hope that we would not see the 1990's
engineers using slide rules). Another little "update" would be to
throw some J.K. O'Neill into the mix. Ah, well.
