Few people like to think about the unthinkable. Our local newspaper just reported that in the year 2028 a large asteroid may strike the Earth, delivering megatons of energy to our doorsteps.

Yet, we can prepare for the event for no other purpose than finding comfort in the knowledge that we have a plan in case the unthinkable occurs. Here are a few additional thoughts to consider in case an engine fails over rugged terrain.
