   On Channel 5 here in England last night was a program called 'moving   
   to Mars'.  In the early part of the program was a brief section of a   
   team at NASA who were trying to work out how to get there.   
      
   One of the guys explained that for every kilogram of weight you have   
   to use more fuel, so one of the ways to save weight being proposed was   
   to do away with the ships control cables, and have little radio wave   
   devices instead.   
      
   Does anyone know of any web sites that deal with this? It was quite   
   new and surprising for me as I'd never heard of this way before, I'd   
   always assumed that they would used fiber optical cables.
