I've read the book, and I thought it was made clear that anti-ice is actually a contained form of antimatter. After all, it requires only to be heated and combined with water to produce energy. The reason heating is required is that the ice actually has a magnetic bottle inside it, containing the antimatter. If you're familiar with the sort of terminology you hear so often in sci-fi, it's rather easy to spot the steampunk analogs. Furthermore, they do not land on the Little Moon to mine ice for reaction mass, they land on the Moon. As in, the one that we know. Perhaps you ought to go back and read the book again.

Yes, it's clearly an antimatter reference. Note also that the anti-ice contains a superconductor, for the magnetic bottle! Rsynnott (talk) 23:02, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't read the book, so I can't comment (sounds good, though). Anyway, if you think there's a problem with the article, I'd suggest you be bold and make the change yourself. Good luck, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 01:36, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Vicars or Vickers???

"Converting the water into enough power to ascend, the explorers -- along with the saboteur, a Frenchman named Bourne -- return to Britain as the Franco-Prussian War breaks out on the continent."

Why does the Frenchman's name link to the Jason Bourne article? They're entirely unrelated.
