That one was fun. I loved the fusion ramjet exit strategy, and the big reveal at the end.

There was also the one (was it Clarke or Asimov?) where they simply grew genetically engineered Jovian bodies and transferred their minds to them. That one (as you'd expect) ends with the explorers deciding it was way too much fun running around Jupiter as raptor-thingies.
