Ah... InfiniteNow! Perhaps you are interested in being our "Moral Officer". There is a catch to keeping us in the vices that you have outlined. We need to sustain all products that will be consumed by the crew. If we want beverages, we need a brewery. If we want cigars, we need to grow the tobacco. I don't want the pretense of us having a completeley sober crew. If you want to brew stuff, what is the equipment that you will need, and how much space will it take? We have more than enough energy. We are just tight on space. We can even call your area Ten Forward if you want. But I won't call you Guynan.
Welcome aboard!

Hot chick inspector it is! Someone has to be the authority on such matters. And cook too? Consider this for me... what can you do in the kitchen if you only have access to herbs, spices, and food that we grow or raise onboard? It might be a challenge indeed!
But what I am really interested in are your technical skills! Computer specialist and sensor specialist. I have a proposal for you... Should we build a set of completely prefabbed probes and satellites, or should we have frames with power supplies and have modular sensor systems that we can deploy by mixing and matching to the various things we encounter? Any thoughts on what youo would like to go out and do in ouor ship as it flies at will throughout our solar system? Pick your mission and it will happen!
Welcome aboard The Prophesy!

Prophesy Log
TheBigDog Reporting: T-29
Since the public announcement of our mission we have begun to assemble a fine crew. Over the next 29 days as we prepare for launch I am certain that our ranks will grow, and our plans for exploration begin to fall into place.
I have some personal goals for this exploration.
Determine the capability for sustained, non replenished operations. This will be crucial research for missions into deep space where there is no telling what will be found, or how long the mission will last.
Demonstrate the ability to travel around the solar system at high speed going where we choose, when we choose (the exception to this is close proximity to the sun for which our ship is not equipped).
Deploy probes and satellites around planets, let them spend time in automated research, then recover and redeploy them in other tasks.
Deploy and recover surface rovers on various planets and moons.
Deploy and recover shuttles for manned exploration of various planets and moons.
Explore and sample comets in the cold deep of space while they are "sleeping"
These are just some of my own goals and expectations from the maiden voyage of the Prophesy. With 29 days until our launch we have much work ahead of us. Work that will be exceeded only by the joy of the tasks.
It is my hope that my fellow travelers will avail themselves to keep periodic logs of their own experience aboard the Prophesy so that our unique and historic perspective of living this dream will be to the benefit of all mankind.

Re: Space Voyage #1
We would have to carry along with us a large array of generic observational sattellites that we can leave lying around in various parts of the solar system. Juipiter is definitly worth a visit, I hear that it is good this time of year  deploy a some probes to a few moons and move on to saturn.

Moral officer doesn't sound good for me... how about, "Resident sounding board?"

Seems you need a maintenance officer. What happens when the windings short or the micro fastball hits?
