ready for the moon?

[silver]

i just read that bush wants to establish a colony on the moon and a manned mission to mars. now there are obvious political reasons behind this but at the same time its good to know that our government does remember that we have a space program, even though it really hasn't done much in space in the past 30 years, compared to what was done during the 50's and 60's at least.

and i saw that jpl tested an ion engine recently, wonder what kind of motor mounts i'd need to get that into a hatchback?
