I think that about the best compliment I could hope to get. :) This was a lot of fun. I only wish I had more time.

Clam Clamper "Come quick Jensen! I've done it! The Clam Clamper is alive!" "D-Doctor?" "All these long nights toiling and tweaking, only to find it worked this whole time! All I had to do was give it the proper push: I disconnected it's feeding hose and it activated, reconnected it's hose, and identified me as a threat! Ho ho! Boy, was that exciting! Fortunately clams are not known for their long memories. What do you think, lad? Isn't it marvelous?"

Thanks Everyone!

High Orbit: High above Earth in orbit, a small service module rendezvous with a cargo freighter, just returned from asteroid mining space. The crew aboard the freighter are more than happy to switch places with the lads aboard the SM. They've been dreaming of hot meals, fresh water, and a real shower for what seems like ages. Those aboard the SM are nervous, but eager to earn the hefty paychecks deep space mining has to offer. Whew! Heard about this contest a few days ago, and inspired by Kerbal Space Program, I knocked this together in an afternoon. I wish my parts were a bit more robust to allow for a rounder Earth, but overall I'm pleased with the end result. Any feedback is welcome!
