I have a client (one of the galactic tourism companies, cant say which one)
which is after some guidance code that they can use with a CCK field (i.e.
they want to put moon coordinates in, then have the ship automatically fly
there via rss).  I told them that flying to the moon wasnt possible with
Drupal (at least not on windows) so they have asked if i can build a module
so they can use drupal not only inside the ship, but also on the internet.

I believe there is a bounty of about $8m for the developer who gets drupal
to interface with the mars lander (although i heard they went with joomla in
the end - which is probably why it didnt last as long...).

Basically, you have to get your ass-embler to mars, find the alien artifact,
get the girl and kill the baddies.  See you at the party Richter!
