The things we will have to do for our daily 'bread'...

Interestingly enough, since you will not 'have' to do it, the
question for managers will be how do you make it fun enough to
get people to volunter for the job? Weekly awards for Jupiter junkets?
Conferences on Triton? Death Matches with Beyond Deep Blue?
(as an aside this sounds like the 'jury duty' of the 21st century...)

What say you? What will motivate you to work (or compete)
when you don't have to?
