LOL, Too bad the little munchkins don't believe in
standardization; otherwise I would _love_ to have the
Mk1 gone over by those beasties from 'a Mote in God's
Eye".

btw- I had lost the keys to the Scirocco (in the
house), but they were found last night in a cardboard
box- happily playing w/ the Maserati's keys. (What
offspring they could make.)

As for the planet, it's pretty close to a 'cold star',
something almost but not quite massive enough to turn
into a Sun type object. (I put Cosmic Engineer on my
resume but they laugh and don't believe me...)

Hmmm, wouldn't Scirocco make for a lovely ships' name
though...
