  2. That seems like a good idea, but doesn't it take two years to travel to Mars. Who would want to spend 4 years round trip on such a risky mission.

  3. And I know this is bad, but his last name is Knight, and I keep imagining a shuttle that looks like KITT...

  4. I had to remove this from the community Breaking because it was never marked as breaking by 2 SuperMixxers, which is a prerequisite for all submissions to that community.

  7. Used NASA Shuttles on a trip like that would not be much more useful than a Greyhound Bus.

    I guess that is why he refers to the plan as "a thought exercise designed to encourage unconventional thinking for future human space flight".

    If you ask me he is REALLY stretching his imagination, though. Must be good exercise...
