You can always assemble your vehicles on sites...  Anyway, there's no room

either...but more than that, I don't like the fact that the text is
extremely small and unadjustable (probably defined in pixels instead of

(...) why not look in an encyclopedia? The story itself is cheap, "Maybe we'll find life on Mars!". There are a few problems with it, for instance stars do not twinkle in space, and there is no room for a T3-Trike to fit in the ship. Also, why would (...)
