Are any of the mechanical principles on which a hovercraft operates altered a great deal by moon gravity/air pressure? I guess wheels are wheels. They go round.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think we probably came off like HUAC, except with file cabinets.
Hee!
I remember now why I like not-working when I'm here at work: Everyone here is a FUCKING JOKER. I'm making followup calls on something that no one got already. So not so much with the following up, see? For an event on Thursday, that people have to pay to go to. Are they kidding me with this?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm hoping that the new War of the Worlds movie will stimulate interest in tripod moon vehicles.

It's space! Why can't I have an aircar?
Well, if it's space, then there isn't much air for an aircar.

Blah. Just had the 401K briefing at work. I hate that. I know I should be saving, but I don't want less money where I can reach it. It makes sense, yet I fear.
I guess I need to admit that there's no point saving for a house right now. But what about when the bubble bursts? I could have a downpayment ... money is so complicated. I always (falsely) feel that saving a little is no use.

If you're going to be literal and make sense, then you can't play.

Oh, and another issue that hasn't been explored yet regarding a moon base - can a moon base be defended from zombies? Can zombies survive without air? Can zombies successfully amble on the moon? Would the moon's 1/6 gravity enable zombies to walk normally rather than amble? What would be the most effective anti-zombie weapon on the moon?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
YOu can either take money out of your 401k or borrow against it for a downpayment on a house, ita. It's one of the allowable things that isn't taxed all to hell and gone. I think.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, zombies are technically reanimated flesh. I think they don't breathe. So, OK for the moon.
The real question is, how did they get there?? Did zombies on earth organize a colonizing mission?? Weren't there enough edible brains on this planet?
Or maybe we imported them to fight the teeming Martian invaders in their forward attack base.

D'oh! I should have asked, but I didn't even know it was a question.
