We can easily take care of that little problem as we've done it before!

Funny, and probably embarrassing. I give them credit for digging in and finding the culprit. Also reminds us of the ever increasing junk up there --- could ruin most all earth-based astronomy (worse than already) in pretty short order.    Tom

Well, can't write a paper about a discovery if you don't prove it.

Sounds eerily familiar of the original Star Trek series where "Nomad" mistook Captain Kirk for his creator..

...Scotty, we're gonna need some anti-matter pods down here

I discovered a small amount of luminiferous aether in an old cigar box last week. Dr. Erwin Cory is in the process of confirming its validity using a calibrated flashlight. We have agreed to share the Nobel Prize and are building two equal-height champion pedestals in anticipation.    Tom

A great episode.  But I'd like a real Nomad.
