Wow - awsome idea !<p>I dismissed it eariler today since the fuel tanks are empty.  But the factory should have been producing fuel as one of it's standard products.  So, perhaps.<p>Not sure if Lander 1 was designed for reuse or if the probes would be able to communicate with the lander (orbiter) due to distance.  I will ask Dr. D and others.<p>Sure would be unfortunate if it blew up or crashed.  A full fuel tank would pack quite a punch and take out our transmitter for sure.  But if it worked, the transmitter would be safe for a long time.<p>T
