I can't for the life of me figure out why Robert Clark is constantly
coming up with ideas for so radically modifying something that already
exists that it effectively becomes a entirely different spacecraft, but
without the advantages that a whole new design would offer.


I don't know, but I solved the problem long ago by putting him in my
killfile.



But I like reading up on what's going to get modified next.
You know...it would be possible to take the Queen Mary II and turn it
into a submarine at fairly low cost...all we have to do is drill a lot
of holes in the bottom of the hull, and then... :-)
