No, no. That's a *Mars* bar. This is Luna. And it should be *obvious*
that "Almond Joy" is the appropriate one -- "Sometimes you feel like a

*DEFINITELY* describes this 'food for thought'.

You been watching old Evel Knievel tapes I'll bet.

You've never been required to play "catch" with raw eggs, have you?

Seriously, a number of years ago, some engineering school did a variant
on the 'package an egg so it won't break when dropped X feet' contest,
where the contestants had to build something to _catch_ an egg, w/o breaking
it.

You can *try*, but I suggest that -first- you calculate the energy-density
of that system. then contemplate the mass requirements, _just_ to power
your "forty watt plasma rifle" -- let alone any on-board flight controls,
instrumentation, life-support system, etc.

Improvements in battery design have been ramping up so quickly in the past
few years that I fully expect to see a pink, drum-beating bunny on the Moon!

Y'know, you could probably *sell* that idea to the copper-top people for an
ad campaign.
