This looks like one of Wile E. Coyote's designs--and looks just as certain to fail.

(The BBC story was cringe-inducing. The presenter interviewing the scientist kept calling it a "universe" instead of a "solar system." Aargh!)

I was reading about making pharmaceuticals in space back in the 1980s, in books like Stine's The Space Enterprise. Now it's happening for real.

I own several GURPS supplements but have never actually played GURPS.
