- ->What exactly is "slush hydrogen?"
-
- - It's the stuff that covers the sidewalks after a
- -snowstorm on Jupiter :-)
-
- No, it's an undocumented fuel reserve that can be used for covert and
- unauthorized maneuvers (like retrieving an astronaut who was clowning
- around in the Shuttle bay and lost his grip, and not telling anybody
- about it. :-)
