Unfortunately for Steve, this flight won't count as a cross-country, since
he won't land at an airport at least 50 nm from his departure airport.

Foreign? Uh-uh. Soon as that footpad touched down, it was U.S. soil by
historical custom. We oughta declare it the 51st. state so's it don't revert
to the "Abandoned Property" file.

Yeah, that's the ticket. Jim Weir for the first Governor of the State of
Luna! We Ilk could emigrate, become Lunatics and Jim could be our leader.

Beg pardon. It's a slow morning and it's raining.

Leave only footprints, take only pictures.

Buzz, I need either you, Neil, Pete, Jack, Eugene, or one of the other
remaining native moonwalkers. See, I think this planet is ripe for a casino
and I need to partner-up before I apply for the gaming license.

I'm thinking Jefferson Starship for the lounge.
Got any original members?
No. But I own 1/8 rights to the name.

What design considerations would come into play for homebuilt aircraft in
that environment? Recycling of worn-out or abandoned equipment would reduce
the cost.

Making mine out of gold foil. It's expensive, but easy to work with.

Hey, Part 103 is still 254 lbs. That's a Warrior up here :-)

Right, but don't most cities require you to be a resident of said city, to
become mayor? I see a problem, commuting to the city council meetings, too.
