To make it a bit more complicated perhaps it could play a tune on a harmonica on the way down, so many things to go wrong. Plus, obligatory William Shatner edit: I'm. Massively. Excited. By This.

Wait a second! <burp> What if we lower it down to the surface with an overly complicated "sky crane" system. Ha Ha just kidding. Jeesh, if we only could have figured out how to get those friggin laser beams on those sharks we wouldn't be stuck in this stupid NASA job." _________________________ i7 2600K ASUS GTX580 46' LED Bose Speakers TM Warthog (CH Products, Logitech G-940 and Cougar are gathering dust) TrackIR 4 w/Vector VAC
