Interview by Frank Sietzen Jr.

Quote from the interview:

"I am very much hoping that we soon have a breakthrough in propulsion,
that we can build spacecraft that can travel much faster than the means
that we have today. Not just to travel in our solar system, but to
travel outside our galaxy."

Now, *that's* optimism.

On or about Sat, 12 Nov 2005 08:58:45 -0600, rk made the sensational claim that:
It was interesting but kind of a fluff interview. I would want to know the
answer to the question, "Er, what did you all think when you saw the video of
the foam flying off the tank?"

You don't think you'd get an honest (uncensored) answer to that one do you? :-P
