It is more than a motor. It is a power plant specially constructed to accomplish the tasks to which you set it.

You know how fiercely life will seize a chance to take root Why not on Mars? Also their seasons change faster than ours. That means variety of crope-food.

The practical value of astronomy is far surpassed by its philosophic value.
