1-How big a rock (we are taking a boulder off of) are we talking about here?
2-What are the risks if this unmanned taxi hits this or a few other rocks and sends them pinballing off into the asteroid belt setting off a chain reaction that sends something bigger our way one day?
3-Seems a stupid idea anyway...if they had a) built a manned presence on the moon by now they could have answered a multitude of science related questions b) they could be pushing a manned mission to Mars and c) they wouldn't have to stoop to stupid ideas like this!
4-The tired old line about this or that silly little adventure assisting in a nebulous "deep space mission" in some indeterminable future is getting stale...there is no will, no budget...no anything pointing to you guys going anywhere on an epic scale anytime this century!
