A Detail May Be New
But the idea of using this for a trip to Mars is years old. The NASAwatch article came across to me as indicating it was a new idea to use this for a Mars trip. It is definitely not, but I don't have the link to prove it and was hoping someone else would remember which show it was that discussed this. I also took pains to indicate that KC is generally more on top of things than the rest of us to avoid the all-out flame fest RL seems to erroneously suggest was my intent.
