Looked good at the lower levels but when I learned about the D and F sub orbitals the picture got ugly. If my understanding of gravity is correct, then Sol and its captives are attracted strictly by their electrical field with the magnetic moment zeroed out. So one can have an orbital removed to...

Having read comments about the costs with a manned expedition Ed Lerner offered a technique but its very bandwidth intensive. Another come from history and that of asceticism where one is launched on way with life support for one and a structure designed to be added to. Ascetic two launches with...

I would like to explore Earth from the Kuiper Belt. The establishment of a large orbital satellite equipped in such way that the possibility of life on Earth can be determined. It would be an interesting study of the equipment reports on the inner planets and our view of reality. After a period...

You do realize the implications of your hypothesis. This super intellect being extent in four known demensions reaches back to First Cause among other things.

Now is the chance to create a rational system of rank. Lieutenant Commander vs Commander, Lieutenant Colonel vs Colonel, Rear Admiral of the lower half vs Rear Admiral of the upper half. Silver and Gold historical accidents. Why not acknowledge in both ' O' and 'E' the bottem three levels equate...

It appears that the age of the paper and the Eastman process may be returning. Not that there were not faked pics in Brady's time nor the evidence used by the French Army to frame Dreyfes but it took talent to do it right. It might come demanding all NEWS have citations otherwise its a lying...

Might be that it is going to be looked in the same way we look at a plane ride - just business.

From reporting I wouldn't call them Space Suits but advanced Flight Suits similar to the types tossed around in Analog back int the days of Campbell.

With the bulk of the cost being in the lift from Earth I have long held this thought and pushed pt in other places of the Lagrange positions as the local junk repository. Ask any electronic tech about the value of the junk drawer in experiments. We are wasting a valuable resource returning...
