Keep on trying, monkeys, you may get there in the end.

This fecking warp drive is taking forever.

It's lucky I'm a patient lizard.

We're coming...bring on the rocks

What do you expect when you're stuck on a planet with only a tree trunk, Diamonds, Sulphur, Saltpetre and Carbon to play with?

FFS, it's not rocket science...

They're making it all up to make the equations work. But it still doesn't. What appears to be happening is that fundamental constants, aren't.

They're not putting faith in something that they can't prove to exist are they? I'm not a religious man but I can see the irony.

What about this 'as yet' undiscovered dark matter stuff that must exist for physics to work? Does if follow that there must also be dark anti-matter? Are they making this all up?

I think it's just using bluescreen - if it was actual optical camo, you'd see his face displayed on the ball rather than the background behind him.

IIRC one of the science shows on TV (maybe one with Kryten in, maybe the gadget show) did this with a car - cameras on one side, tv screens on the other. Worked ok until you knew what to look for.

I might be able to say something worthwhile if I could actually see the clip, but it isn’t working on this corporate cackness browser.

I'll watch that at thome.
Nothing works here.

I couldn't see anything either...

It is a clever concealment technique that he has learned in Germany. There's a youtube clip in there though.

Well, I remember seeing a programme on discovery where they were showing future military technology, and they demonstrated a camouflage suit made of tiny little mirrors and some fibre-optics; the wearer blended into any background quite effectively, and wouldn’t be seen as long as he didn’t move, at which point you’d see nothing more than a vague silhouette.
