The "Engineering" approach that I am using is to envision what it would take for a tremendous surge of energy, such as from an extremely powerful lightning bolt, or the wave-front of a nuclear blast, to "deconstruct" a gullible victim brave volunteer.

Physics dictates that everything is reversible, so all we have to do is capture the outflowing information stream, and then reverse its operation in the reconstruction chamber.

Minus any insects, of course.

"...Minus any insects, of course."

You know as well as I do that La Cucaracha will most likely accompany us into space (inner OR outer) and that we will have to have certain *ahem* security measures to prevent the multiplication of said critters.

*shudder* I loathe and detest insects when they insist on taking back the space that I stole from them...
