Remember all those stubby silos in the engine room’s background? Who’s to say those aren’t water jackets shielding the fusion reactors?

Or get it on a Firefly transport. The engine room on that show looks a lot like LPP’s experimental space. It’s supposed to be a fusion engine. And Firefly is definitely “sexy”. Plus it appeals to the rugged individualist. The show’s been canceled, but the fans and stars live on. And they’re known to be dedicated. Do we have any Firefly fans here who also post to Firefly blogs? Has that show slipped off the radar? Not possible.
