With a tug on a cable, the $12.9 million lunar rover folded slowly out of Falcon's side. Its hollow, wire-mesh wheels snapped into place, and the moon car was lowered to the ground. Like most earthly vehicles the rover had a problem: the front-wheel steering did not work. Nonetheless, a 25-yard test drive showed that it was ready to go with its back wheels steering. After a motherly reminder from Mission Control ("Okay, Dave, remember to buckle up for safety"), the astronauts clambered aboard, strapped themselves into place, pushed the control stick forward and moved...

One of his nastiest creations is an Eskimo known as Heck Noe (humor is hardly Dent's forte). Others have long pointy ears, or keep secret laboratories in hollow mountains, or come from an advanced civilization in the center of the earth. All are insanely resolved to conquer the world, and all come equipped with secret weapons-like, say, a fluffy yellow cloud that sidles up to airplanes and skyjacks them...
