Well, that was weird.
The first time I clicked that link, it took me to a page of entertainment headlines. I closed it, opened this reply to report it went to the wrong place, then decided to see if I could search to the right page. I opened it again, and bang it went right to the article. Like I said, weird.

Doing a bit of URL-hacking of the image, I discovered it's from a webstrip called Radioactive Panda. Here's the particular strip.
Looks like something to read over the long weekend (instead of writing... hey! I need the computer to write at! don't drag me away from it! )

These folks are probably on the Moon as fast as humanly possible, once the fen start moving. Considering their goal is to get settlers there by 7/31/2012, they'd probably see the opening of moon colonies ahead of schedule as a good thing.Ebony the Black Dragon

I'd be really surprised if some enterprising fen hasn't 'waved one of these.
BD-10
Or maybe this one, if they could get there hands on one of the two surviving planes.
