very cool. but i have to make one remark, please dont be offended:

i know they appear in all sorts of clasic sci-fi work, but i have to ask.. turbines in space? sure, sure, for that matter, why conning towers and wings. but turbines? must be to propel the ship thru the 'ether.'

i remember some William Gibson comment about a pLastic raygun he had as a kid. seems it was equipped with a ram-rod. no doubt for unclogging stuck-on globs of fussion power.
