) that includes a Star Trek ship blowing up (but not from a Borg cube, funnily) and multiple more pages saying how many pounds of trees it has to eat because apparently someone was afraid they were implying it would eat enemy troops' bodies
>they also looked into having the fuel part just act as a generator like a diesel-electric locomotive which is funny because I also looked into that and apparently it only really scales well at locomotive sized and not much smaller
>it was the 2000s so we still thought by 2020 everyone would be a Space Marine
>they still list cooking oil and chicken fat under 'acceptable combustion substances'
>"The chipper/shredder and brush mower (if used) can consume significant power, but have relatively short duty cycles"
>"A harvesting system (robotic arm, brush mower, etc.) could ingest 150 lb of vegetation within 15 minutes or so (even a single small swallow of only 15 pounds would provide sufficient energy to perform many missions" [they forgot the closing parenthesis here, not me]
