AdeLabs in moon bid

AdeLabs Foodstuffs Propulsion Laboratory has announced that it will put a man on the moon by 2220.
"We have the fundamental technology," said Prof Rabl E Lunch, Director of AdeMission Moon, "now all we have to do is persuade someone to get into the capsule."
The old AdeLabs space programme was based on preserve-based rocket propulsion, but the laboratory suffered a severe blow when all its stocks of marmalade were confiscated by the North Koreans. However, a new system based on genetically modified cabbage has been developed.
"It is an elegant concept," said Prof Lunch. "Cabbage is a completely sustainable resource and there is no limit to how far the technology can take us. If we want to go to Mars, we just have to grow a bigger cabbage."
But not everyone was delighted by the prospect. Speaking for arch-rivals Skimble Labs, Prof Ettek Remark said: "I don't see the point. Man has already been to the moon and this is going to cost the tax payer a fortune in compost alone."
