Cool -- I may get there before NASA does. I wonder if we'll ever know for sure that it wasn't just a movie. :)

Astronaut Charged With Attempted Murder

ORLANDO, Fla. (Feb. 6) - She was the Robochick. He was Billy-O. According to police, her obsession with him led her to drive 900 miles from Houston to Orlando, bringing with her a trenchcoat and wig, armed with a BB gun and pepper spray, and wearing a diaper to avoid bathroom breaks on the arduous drive.

Depends, PEG, depends.

OK but I think I'll wait until she gets out of the restroom - Looks like she is still holding it. :)

Glenn,

I think I found the perfect spot for your underground Moon cabin:

Tsiolkovskiy Crater

lat=-20.16552
lon=128.51585

It has a ridge which comes up kinda of in the middle you can use for a lookout

Do you Navy people all look alike, PEG? She kinda looks like she could be a relative of yours.

Hold on - I guess I have to give you the same advise you and John dish out:

Check with the local public servant to make sure you comply with all zoning / building codes. Thats what they are there for!! 8-)

The man in the Moon? He's the only resident I know of-- I hope there are no public servants there yet. I'd hate to have to start off on the wrong foot. :-/
