    Wow, even a Prius of Diapers story...that's amazing. 4 years ago people had never even heard of the Prius, now it's the gold standard. Even NASA's new Dawn space ship is "The Prius of space craft..."
    Thanks for pointing that out, truely amazing to me.

    Rolls Royce is relegated to the back blocks, another car is now the finest in the land!!

    That is a lot of gentle thrusting and something of an endurance record one would think to be able to thrust for so long before reaching the destination then thrust some more to go even higher!!

    I wonder if it is sponsored by a nasal spray or a tablet?
