Maybe Scotts planning a personal flags and foot prints trip to Mars.

_Space Nuclear Power_, Joseph A. Angelo and David Buden, Orbit Books, 1985.
Twenty years out of date, yes, but there has unfortunately not been much
new work in the field the past couple decades. Angelo & Buden are pretty
good at covering the state of the art at the time, including the SP-100,
and I think their speculation as to future developments is still valid.
Includes a good number of diagrams, mass breakdowns, etc.

John Drake is still stuck in the Village, and I'll take Felicity Shagwell

Shagwell got swapped for a robot at some point so she might well be
in the Village herself.
Mind you, I saw the robot and thought 'mass production'. Probably
some ethical issues, though.

No, John Drake visited the village only once. Your thinking of No 6,
and if you are old enough you'll know he escaped for good in the very
last episode. :-p |

I think you've got the movies reversed here, actually. It was Vanessa
Kensington (brunette, played by Elizabeth Hurley, starred in the first
movie, and entirely British) who was revealed to have been a Fembot(tm)
all along. Felicity Shagwell was the blonde of the second movie, played
by Heather Graham and entirely deserving both parts of the theme song,
"American Woman".
Not that I would know any of this, of course.

Yes, if you were quick you'd see the guy in the monkey outfit was No
6, and if your really quick you'd have seen that the number of No 6's
house in london was No 1 meaning he's one's self, an individual who is
not a number... ie it was just as the dwarf butler went into the house
before No 6/1 drove off in his Lotus Super 7, for the high speed blast
the program used to start with.
Quote: And is he really different than Drake?
Yes, John Drake was 'Danger Man', not 'The Prisoner'. |

Contact Dave Maul @ http://teledyneenergysystems.com. He was an SP-100
engineer and I worked with him about three years ago when I worked for
Teledyne. Most of the engineers there have experience with RTG's
however they are low wattage units. When I left there they were
working on a radio isotope sterling generator for PKE.
Hope this helps,

No. 6 never revealed his name. It might have been John Drake.
Patrick McGoohan, it is rumored, always claimed that No 6 wasn't Drake
because otherwise he'd have legal problems. He didn't own the Drake
character.
