I think Buzz Lightyear would do a better job.

But the real lad would be Doctor Who. Or better still, Dan Dare.

Seriously though, they might as well start working on the technology now, because sooner or later it's going to happen. And it might take their minds off some of the other games the space technologists are into.

It shouldn't need big explosions and so forth, that'd probably be the worst thing to do. Unfortunately I get a feeling that those are the just kind of answers that the people in charge like to think in terms of.
