This ion pump thing sounds like a great thing, but if we're looking for hydrogen, why go anywhere? Isn't the interplanetary gas mostly H and He? Is the density enough to make this worthwhile? (If this is a really dumb idea, be gentle; I know I know almost nothing about this stuff...)

Interplanetary gas is so thin that current technology can't do anything useful with it, I'm afraid. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
