I believe she has read some Robert Heinlein. And a "Huge Rocket" needed? Pshaw - Heinlein postulated rail guns. But the moon is truly a military treasure/nightmare.
Indeed - How is this even patent-able? If the various bus specs over the years have not been modular, whatever were they?? I have added modules to my systems ever since the old days when I swore to never buy an Apple product because of the closed architecture. I have a card and a drive sitting on my desk waiting to be installed - and BOTH are certainly modules (well they are definitely not discrete components).
{rant} I thought a module was an integrated collection of components that could be added to other modules within a system. It's all the fault of the English language! No absolutes and multiple meanings for the same word in different contexts. It's a miracle that we communicate at all! {/rant}

How long before it occurs to them that recording a stream is a trivial undertaking?
