WHAT DID THEY JUST SAY? *Now they're
using solar cells and lithium-ion batteries?!
Who predicted that?
Since spacecraft have been using solar cells and rechargable batteries for
about a half a century now, it would be hard to say who predicted such a
thing.
Though your dim little mind probably thinks they are running the engines
of a spacecraft with electricity.
OPERATIVE PHRASE:
"Rather than hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells like the space shuttle
orbiters,"
