I seem to remember that the novel mentioned the use of a "Sakharov Drive" - it sounded like a pulsed-fusion engine to me... I also remember them mentioning propellant. I'm not sure if it was in reference to their own engines or the ones on the Chinese ship Tsien, who used Europa as a re-fueling point to gather water as extra propellant. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Terence Chua, Dept of Laws, Queen Mary College, University of London Snail Mail: 22 Courcy Road, London N8 0QH Telephone: (044)081-888-1210 E-Mail: T.Chua@qmw.ac.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "I am not a free man, I am a lawyer!"
