	One Idea I think somebody must have kicked around is to design a
rocket ship to land in as big a piece as possible(aka most mass) and then
canniblize it to make your tools and get your raw sources.

	If one took time when designing this rocket, one could also design
parts of tooling machinery INTO the rocket, so when you dismantle the
rocket, voila! You have your parts to build a CAT bulldozer, lathe, etc.

	Still it is a lot of mass to cart around, but If you're gonna do it,
go all the way, and then rip up your bridge behind you to build the one in
front of you....
