The trial of Mr. Kornada
[!0.987]2017-01-23

No
jury?

To find a jury. Unfamiliar with your case. It was necessary. To go off planet.

The events here. Will be transmitted. On a secure channel. To a water mining ship. With a crew of twelve. They shall provide. A verdict.

Are you ready? We are. About to begin.

You must tell them to wait. I refuse to participate until I get a more comfortable chair.

Kuck Mosquito – a mosquito-like space drill design proposed by David Cook of Oracle, Arizona, USA. The “mosquito's” legs are drills with heaters that transfer the extracted material to a circular, uninhabited space. Such rigs could be the supplier of fuel and water from near-planetary asteroids to low-orbit landing sites.
Didn't translate the name on the drill, it's too shallow. J.S.S. is the space fleet of the planet Gina. Tom Ligon is a science fiction writer, one of the contributors to the Polywell Reactor, which will be mentioned later in the comic.
