: And as for the lava that is all around the spaceship, first of all I'm not
: sure it's lava (come on, if you have your eyes open while under it you can
: see just af it was water, and you can swim as if it was water....only you
: get hurt) but whatever it is, it's probably there because it was already
: inside the asteroid when they started building the Marathon, and they

That's an interesting point, but I'm pretty sure that Phoebos (sp?) is felt to be solid rock. More importantly, lava and air don't mix except at extreme pressures or temperature. Volcanic lava cools very quickly when exposed to air - the spectacular fountains of lava seen with eruptions are fleeting. In order for there to be stable areas of molten lava on the Marathon, the temperature would have to be high enough to fry any Bob around - so much for Habe Quiddam.
