"The spacecraft would have to evolve for the different demands of a Mars flight, particularly the higher re-entry speed," admits Horowitz. The basic design, however, would remain the same...
After stopping for gas at a shoddy station, the Carter family receives directions from a shady attendant about a “shortcut” through the desolate and abandoned hills of New Mexico. Somehow, the Carters don’t seem to notice the somewhat obvious dark figures that dart around their RV as they drive...
