We can dare to dream of the stars again, if only we can achieve this small thing.

RE: We can dare to dream of the stars again, if only we can achieve this small thing.
I can't remember who said it, (maybe Larry Niven) but it was estimated that the cost of an O'Neal colony in Earth orbit (huge hollow asteroid, filled with air and spun for gravity) whould be imposibly expensive for any country to afford..... about the same cost as the Vietnam war Wink

The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
