Still some light years away but closing rapidly is an alien vessel.

Not your average ship, this one has capability to shatter a planet.

But this particular ship is piloted by a bunch of kids going on a joy ride and they are just cruising around looking for something to shoot up.

They say green planets explode the best.

Just something to consider in the realms of fantasy and fiction.

These still make more sense than ‘investing’ in a Chevy Volt.

Take an egg & shake it violently for several hours, then take a look at what is inside: scrambled egg.

I'm guessing the same will happen to anyone strapped inside this fool thing. Strapped along the inside wall will let you experience the full force of hours of tumbling. Your arms, legs, & head will flail around such that the bones break. You'll probably die from the G-forces or just constant tumbling. This egg might be comfortable floating in a lake, but what about surfing a tsunami at 200+ MPH. Oh, and the first tree, pole, log or debris you encounter will go right thru this thing.

Go find the most violent ride at the state fair or amusement park, ride it non-stop for several hours, & if you are still alive, let me know how you feel.

Seller = scammer, buyer = moron

I'd rather have an escape pod that you can steer across oceans.
