NASA had a ion propelled asteroid flyby probe called [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Space_1"]Deep Space 1[/ame]. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Space_2"]Deep Space 2[/ame] was a miniprobe, part of the Mars Polar Lander (which crashed). Deep Space 3 was going to be a "stellar optical interferometer," and Deep Space 4 was going to be a comet lander; both were cancelled before they came to fruition.

They should have kept going until they reached 9.

I'm quite sure they never made more Voyager missions because they were afraid of what would happen with Voyager 6.

Just wait for the day when Sea Shepherd will appear with a Kirov class battlecruiser.

(Unless the following year, Japan will escort their science fleet with a reactivated Yamato battleship)

Hi. I've bought a new computer (Toshiba P50-B-11L) and I have a question.I have a joystick and a numpad. Can I set the numpad as the LIN controls and the joystick as the ROT controls?

A sentient being of pure energy?
Having seen your other projects, probably something like a Soviet era arc lamp.

Yep.
A 2500W Xenon arc lamp.
Not sure what date it is, but it seem to be a new old stock made in Hungary at least 25 years ago.

Finally got my portfolio website up (after I found an internship, of course, but I figure it will be handy in the future too). If you can spare a few minutes, take a look and tell me what you think:

http://raoc.azurewebsites.net

If you spot any typoes while you're there, I'd be glad to know, although I don't expect anybody to read through the whole thing.
I know that the thing still has one or two issues on phones, but I don't have any means of testing it on something intermiediate like tablets other than just checking the layout, so if somebody visits it with a tablet, tell me what the handling feels like.
