"Well, there is our gas station for oxygen, now we need to find a huge source of hydrogen to explore the outer reaches of space."

Funny you should ask. Jupiter's upper atmosphere is composed of about 88–92% hydrogen. Isn't that convenient?

Jupiter Gas and Quickie Mart, best fuel for Billions of miles.

I am sure that the Sierra Club and the envirowackos are in the process of blocking any and all access to Europa and Jupiter, so you can forget that.

Actually, you don't need that much fuel to travel far in space because once you get going you keep moving until something stops you, or your engines stop you, you would need fuel to maneuver and stop, and go.

It's give us hope that some day we could go father out in space.
Instead of trying to launch a huge space craft into space with huge rockets, why can't they launch multiple capsules into space and have a place near the moon where it can be joined together kind of like a modular design and make one huge space craft... kind of like the ISS but, even more modular.
Where real life imitates art, have you ever seen the Transformers ? if there was some way to make the DELTA or the Saturn 5 rocket launched into space and reuse all of the parts of the rockets.... but, then again, I guess the reason why part of the rockets where jettisoned was because of weight or could not be able to handle the aerodynamic harmonic vibrations.
