An amusing afterthought to my last: You're flying from Tokyo to London, over the North Pole. The pilot announces a rendezvous with the Earth-Moon tether tip. The plane touches down on the landing pad there. Some people get off, others get on. A passenger takes the seat next to you. He looks very tired. He pulls something out of his pocket.
"Want to hold a moon rock?" he asks. "I've also got a chunk of a captured asteroid...." And you act bored. Because that's SO two years ago. -michael turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] == You are subscribed to the Europa Icepick mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project information and list (un)subscribe info: http://klx.com/europa/
