Hello Walter,
This would all make for a great scifi story!
the story I want to puzzle out is that a group of a few thousand people
get dropped on a planet with an indestructible encyclopedic reference,
really good geological maps and their birthday suits. I've wondered how
long it would take to get into back into space. If they can keep society
together, I'd bet it would be under 100 years, it might even be under a
generation.
I'd bet it takes longer. Even with incredible knowledge, they'd have to
build the technology from scratch, starting with improvised tools.
