(A bit of whimsy pulp fiction that I'd never intended to upload....But...Since the Phoenix Mars lander reportedly found water yesterday....)
The Caterpillar I 7505 MH Material Handler- Originally developed for gathering earth orbiting space junk and construction of various orbiting facilities, the venerable Cat I 7505 MH became one of the most important tools toward the terra forming of Mars. Sent first to the asteroid belt, to slingshot hydrocarbon rich asteroids around Jupiter to impact on Mars, raising dust and greenhouse gasses beginning the formation of an atmospheric shell, raising and stabilizing global temperatures . Then off to harvest ice from the rings of Saturn, pushing them out of orbit, slingshot around Jupiter, again impacting on Mars.---- 3man crew, powered by 4 Cat variable pitch ion pulse engines, fueled by laser fed Bussard collector and on board solar panels, also equipped with optional Cat L450 cutting lasers in detachable chin pod. Okay, so I'm an idiot. #asteriod #asteroid_belt #backhoe #cat #caterpillar #ciencia_ficción #comet #djames #fantascienza #fantasy #fiction #heavy_equipment #hornet #jupiter #liebherr #loader #mars #Raumfahrzeug #ruimtevaartuig #saturn #sci_fi #science #science_fiction #scifi #space #spacecraft #spaceship #terra_form #terraforming #vaisseau_spatial #wasp #космический_корабль #космический_флот #サイエンスフィクション #太空船 #宇宙船 #科学小説 #空想科学小説 #航天器
