Houston, we have a solution.

Where did you get that turn of phrase, you may wonder?  It is obviously borrowed from Apollo 13.  That was the ill fated mission to the Moon in the early seventies that became a "triumphal failure".  What made it a failure is the fact that they didn't make it to the Moon.  What made it a triumph was the fact that they managed to survive.  It was dramatized in the Ron Howard movie "Apollo 13", which includes the following scene that I am referencing in the title ( no, not the "Houston, we have a problem")



The point to using this is this: just as the Apollo astronauts had to come up with a solution to a life threatening problem with the materials that they had available- so can we. Therefore, we have a solution. We just have to make the materials we have work to our advantage.
