Have Obama write him a check, he does that a lot. But honestly the idea seems amazing, I must make it my goal to join the maiden voyage of it, if it's built.

Wow. just wow. Just when I thought I would die before I saw humanity try and break free of our terrestrial bottleneck. I really, really hope this happens. It needs to for Humanity.

An ion drive? Why don't they just fuel it with redshirts? However, this is pretty awesome. Building the hull, reactor, engines, and gravity wheel are actually the easy parts. The hard part is figuring out how to handle food, water, oxygen, and radiation shielding (ie, life support). And making sure the Klingons don't try to blow it up. But even then, there's plenty of letters in the alphabet.
