No.... that would be me and my buds in the tech dept of an automotive aftermarket accesories company. (volt/ohm/amptach/dwell meters, timing lights, computer interagators, engine analyzers)
Durring one summer before the Freon ban we probably went through a case of the stuff durring a one month stretch as we experimented with "cold propulsion". Many inventions came from all this...
The Freon Cannon, Freon Rocket, Freon Shotgun, Freon Balsawood Airplane Takeoff Assist Booster, Freon Anti-Aircraft Gun, Freon Chaser, Freon Morter and the not entirely successful Freon Time Bomb with thermal trigger.
We were gleefully shocked by the amount of force that could be generated from a simple pen barrel glued to a freon straw... the FAAG could shread a flying paper airplane from 20 feet! (Imagine many 1/16 inch or so lengths of one watt resistor leads stuffed in side a pen barrel which is capped off by a pencal eraser on the business end)
And once it has been towed there, simply attach it as well. Once attached, it no longer needs additional fuel or orbit boosting. Maintenance should be a snap. And if a need for an onboard sensor package arises the HST would ba a damned good start!

The problem with creating artificialy intelligent machines... Roughly 15% commit suicide.
I'd wondered the same... I mean haven't we been doing this in video games for a couple of decades? (what was the name? Moonbase?

Train your dog to sniff for pheromones, and inform you which ladies are in season.
