Re: this is a first... Firefly

Do it. Read 'em the whole thing if you have to. Spend an hour writing 
down contacts they might have in nearby systems so you can pull 'em out 
as needed. Get ready to improvise.

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade
and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are
hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of
our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are
willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we
intend to win, and the others, too.
