[QUOTE="Janx, post: 7486265, member: 8835"] the suit is made of pico-printer-gel (tinier than nanites) and it can modify/repair her such that she can probably handle twice the G. I made that up of course, but thus far, it's in specification for what I'd already figured out. Calling it a suit is really a simplification for our discussion. :) So that might mean that she can go twice as fast, turning that hour long flight into aprox. 30 minutes (or as you added an hour, an hour instead of two). I can still make it tense and "guys I need to go now" because she really does need to get there while it's still farther away. Add in radio fade out after the Q&A with the folks back home , a bit of time passes and as she lines up for the shot, bring the radio back in for final words. I can even have the science guy explain it to the rest of the party, "of course, she needs to achieve a speed of 80km/s and impact at a perpendicular angle to blah-blah" or some such. I don't want to cite too many numbers, but I wanted to have the strategy be interesting, heroic, and plausible if one of y'all crunched numbers. I think I can make this work and be closer to plausible, since it is a sci-fi story. Glad I asked y'all. Let me know if there's any holes with my recap of what I think you said, or a different way to approach the problem (besides let everybody die, which I already dealt with:) [/QUOTE]
