Think of the requirements to travel 25 trillion miles! - Just a very big Ark. Pick an asteroid, build a sort of ant's colony and go! One way travel, but me and Wirestripper will go. Right, Wirestripper?

It sounds so easy in the sci-fi books doesn't it. How fast will your asteroid go? How will your asteroid be powered? How will you stop your asteroid? How much does it weigh again? I know I have an even better idea. Lets just fly the moon like on that one sci fi series that didn't last very long.

"The First Men In The Moon", Herbert George Wells. It took less than a century to get there. Enjoy the reading!

Will you provide me with budget of Moon Program (corrected for inflation etc)? In 10 years I will present you a TDR (technical design report) with all questions answered.

I did not see the series about flying the moon away. Shall I consider my life a waste?... 8^(
