Hi Guys.
You're talking way above me again, but I do like the pretty light that comes from the light saber.

"Not sure I want to be setting up "event horizons" anywhere near our Ship."
I agree. The problem with exceedingly advanced technologies is that they tend to let you down just when you need them most, or they fail in a most spectacular way.
Personally, I'm inclined to stick with old-fashioned reliability like dual-purpose fuel rods. Our internal fuel-rod handling system is designed to bring a nuclear fuel rod to any exterior location in a matter of seconds, with most of the powerful electromagnetic delivery control occurring in the last quarter to half-mile of delivery routing.
This allows for very fast nuclear fuel replenishment for our shuttles, and minimizes exposure time along the route.
Of course, in emergency conditions, the fuel rods, in their protective electronically controlled delivery tubes, could be ejected at a very high speed to almost any nearby coordinates. Due to the design of the rod configuration, if there happens to be an object at those coordinates, the thin rod would collapse down on impact to an unsustainable shape above the critical mass architecture. The yield is expected to be relatively low, but it should be sufficient to act as an emergency asteroid deflector.
Also, we have the mining and geological lasers on the shuttle-thrusters, which are ganged around the periphery of our craft. When these are operated in unison to focus on an approaching meteoroid, it makes a most aesthetically pleasing and effective display.

Hello, everyone!
Why are we talking about particle weapons when NnB has that gland stowed away? Seems to me that would be an awesome and fearsome weapon.

I'm actually hypoglycemic. I have been all my life. I'm tired all the time because I have Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. I haven't much stamina because of it, and I never feel rested, no matter how much sleep I get.
But thanks for being concerned. That means a lot! :o]

Well, sure! But sending it across the border is going to cost more than the bar is worth, right?

No, I missed that post. I just skimmed to get the overall theme for the morning.
What are the questions and can I change the Coffe Crisp to a salad?

Money wise, sure, but not too much for the fun of it.
I sent some Clamato Juice to some friends in San Diego once.

I once took a channel management and logistics class when I was an undergrad. I thought that was one of the neatest things.
