Hello Listers

I wonder if the first 711 will sell Ensisheims
:)

Enjoy

How Asteroids Could Fuel 'Gas Stations' In Outer Space

Preparing a mission for outer space is a little bit like getting ready
to go camping.

If you don?t pack enough provisions for the whole trip, it?s going
to be tough to make it back home.

But geologist Leslie Gertsch is hoping to change all that. She?s
starting a lab at Missouri University of Science and Technology this
summer that will test space rocks for gases?if she finds enough gas,
there could be a future for rocket gas stations in space.

?If you can stop at a gas station, a gas asteroid, it would make
[space travel] more efficient,? Gertsch says. ?You wouldn?t have
to carry all your fuel.?

What?s the magic gas ingredient inside the space rocks?

Gertsch will have to bake the meteorites to find out exactly what kinds
of gases they give off, and how much, but research suggests some of the
rocks have as much as 22 percent water in them, and gases like carbon
dioxide, sulfur
