As much as I love the idea, it's unrealistic.<br/><br/>75 personnel expected.  75 stasis pods. An eighteen month round trip with enough food, water and air for two people, everything else sealed away in air-tight containers in the hold.<br/><br/>75 environment suits. Even if they managed to survive the journey by stealing food from the crew when they weren't looking, the moment the shuttle doors opened, they would be dead!<br/><br/>I really can't see it happening<br/><br/>What I can imagine is someone bringing a small pet, smuggling it into their stasis pod, smuggling it into their e-suit, smuggling it into the base...<br/><br/>Oh, on the subject of E-Suits....<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=148833.msg6750122#msg6750122">Quote from: Chrystal on 12-08-2012, 21:43:22</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Going to have to disable that",  I growled.
