Very Kewl... but way too creepy to me.   Despite the assurances my own
PhD Molecular Biologist daughter gives me about these kinds of things,
it just seems like a disaster (of some kind) waiting to happen.

I love this stuff in Science Fiction (day after tomorrow stories of
various genres) such as the Nicholas Van Rjin character in Poul
Anderson's portfolio or the StarFarers of Vonda McIntyre... but...
well... I think we could be out-driving our headlights on a cliffside
road overlooking a dark and stormy ocean.

Well found!
