SciFi seems to be the order for the day with space-engineers, I see.

Nifty!

That was a very cool article. What a cool toy. I wonder how long until they figure out how to make one that will float over land by using magnetic forces or something.

i wonder how long it'll be before some frustrated spacemen use that thing as a million dollar soccer ball.

"INACURATE FLARE READINGS?! GAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"...

When I was reading the article I was imagining a scene with all these balls hovering about in a passageway an astronaut is trying to travel through "Pardon me, 'scuse me, pardon...Ooof, sorry about that..."

i could see the lonely space men fasioning a wig out of some sort of shredded heat-resistant fabric, and treating these lil' bastards like women.

"goddamnit! what the hell is this mess? someone plugged the i/o ports on the droid! bob?!"

"uhh...  i have no idea... i was nowhere near her..."

"the i/o ports?! what the fuck?! you blew a wad on the i/o ports?!"

"no! you make it sound so filthy... she and i shared a moment... it was beautiful... she was the greatest love i've ever known..."

"huh? you FUCKED it in the i/o port?!"

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"GODDAMNIT! I'M AN ASTRONAUT, NOT A PORNSTAR!!!"...

Naughty Foe, naughty!!
