For all those space fans out there

Every once in a while, Ted talks showcases technology that simply makes me go WOW. The Talk by Bill Stone is one such case. He plans to send a machine to bore through miles of ice and swim through a liquid underworld that may harbor alien life. And if that's not enough, he's also planning to mine lunar ice by 2015.

Sounds like a page out of a science friction novel? Watch the talk yourself and be the judge.
