OK, one more quick response. Kathy, not sure what the status of the education thing is but will try and find out. I think it was more about educating people about Mauna Kea and its connection with the Hawaiians rather than making people drive safely. It's buried somewhere in the link I gave but not sure if they explained how it would be done.
I agree there is a problem with tourists driving rental sedans up there, not sure what can be done about it though. Collisions are rare although I have seen one or two in my time - they were between observatory vehicles though. Tourists and locals driving their cars off the road is a bigger problem, both sedans and 4WDs (plus the odd observatory vehicle). Just the other day another tourist driven SUV was towed off the summit road after an unplanned off-road excursion.
OK, enough for now, I'm thinking about Pam despite someone here suggesting I should just let her die. I'm also busy dealing with the final checks for our interstellar warp-drive engines designed for planetary colonization but we're still trying to figure out how to deliver chemtrails to an alien planet's surface from the vacuum of space. Mark just made me realise we forgot to load the flouride, so have to do some more balance and weight calculations.
Anyone have a suggestion for the first planet we should have a go at? I'm considering a shot at delivering some fungicides to Saturn.
