...drops a flyer in the door and checks off the house from her list. Those who actually make it to the door are pleasant, but don’t say much. Maybe they’re undecided, maybe they’re already Edwards supporters; in the worst-case scenario, they’re Republicans...

As a result, he went on to lose by a landslide, with Ronald Reagan winning 49 states.

Only when it's 100% done do you send humans." For mission planners--not to mention astronauts--spooked by the idea of arriving on Mars and finding that the fuel and water tanks have sprung a leak, redundant tanks could store twice as much as needed and provide some margin of safety...
...fact that solar power isn't yet cost effective on Earth makes this high-tech scenario seem a bit farfetched. The same goes for another energy-producing idea: extracting helium-3, an isotope rare on Earth but relatively abundant on the lunar surface, and shipping it back to fuel nuclear-fusion power plants. First, though, somebody would have to demonstrate that fusion reactors actually work...
