It is freezing outside. Ms. Munroe, is this your fault?

If you want to import terrestrial snowballs, you're going to have to design a method for keeping them spherical under liftoff pressures. Wouldn't do to arrive on Europa with a ton or so of compressed snow all over the rear bulkheads of your spaceship, now would it?

Annotated bibliography, yes please. And provenance for whatever you pull off the Internet as opposed to raiding the library or the journal databases.

Have fun! :)

Or you could just take your own personal ice machine along, and not worry about making the snowballs until you get there.

Well that solves that problem. *grin* Can I Dr. McCoy?

As long as you take Bobby into consideration when prioritizing your sites, I see no reason why not. Remember that he won't be making any snow without water vapor, or at least water.

Also remember that if you overcomplicate your travel plans, you run the risk of your teacher appending a cargo manifest to the requirements of the assignment. Learning opportunities simply abound. ;)

I'd assumed you were going to want the cargo manifest anyway. You said I'd have to design appropriate transport methods...

Are you going to want projected travel routes too? Because given I've got to keep Bobby comfortable I'm going to need the shortest routes available, and it does rather make going too far problematic. Wouldn't do to get there and be too old to play.

Indeed. I suppose you could plan a generational voyage, and arrive at your destination just in time for your children to have a snowball fight, but unless I'm very much mistaken Bobby isn't the one you'd want along on that particular trip. ;)

Include as much detail in your report as you feel moved to; my extra credit schema are as always up to the task. I will warn you, however, that getting so wrapped up in this assignment that you forget to actually go play in the snow while we have it is likely to have a deleterious effect on your grade.

And now I believe I'm late for a hurling. See you outside?

Heh. Not hardly, he's not. Sorry Bobby.

And no worries. Jamie would have some choice words for me if I failed to go get snow dumped on me, I'm sure. I'll see you out there.

That's fine, I understand. Nothing personal, but you wouldn't be my first choice, either, great as you are, Kitty.

Just so's we're clear on that. *grin*

Hmmm... point.

Got it.
