First obvious divergence from real life - robkelk - 05-10-2007

A little something from the other leg of the Trousers of Time...



According to this report, somebody used something called "handwavium" to launch a seagoing yacht into space earlier today. He's renamed the ship the SS Uncertainty... Anybody know anything more about this?

~Rob Kelk

No, but it sounds cool. I wish I had the money and the "handwavium", whatever that is, to do the same thing.

That sounds seriously bad ass. Five bucks says we get a flying Delorian within a month. But who the heck came up with this stuff anyway? I'll read more later, but I got a card game to go to.

I know a guy that made his launch after boltin a cut down jet engine to his Grandpa's Outhouse. Almost died in orbit when his O2 ran out. Last time I seen him he was headed to the Belt.
