Hmmmmm, either it's true or Bush is looking for an excuse to keep their Nuclear Arsenal, but it is interesting, wouldn't want to know the mental state of the astronauts though.......4 months in a small capsule? No thanks!

Ummmm, I left it on Earth to accompany my partial claustrophia.

Oh and by the time you get back you'll probably be in a state that you won't be able to do much let alone play X2 (re: problems from extended space travel periods, radiation etc.)

A Paranid ship as well

Sounds like a good idea but I thought there they were having serious doubts about sending nuclear material into space due to the risk of the chemical rocket exploding during launch. I wonder how they will get round that one.
