  1. You kinda hit on one of the problems that I believe to be insurmountable, the whole international cooperation angle. If you could point to one instance where that has ever worked, and please, spare me any UN nonsense, I'd give it maybe a 1,000,000,000-1 shot. And what about bringing the stuff back? You touched on getting to it and obliquely about getting the ores/minerals out, but how does bringing it back work? That's a lot of weight. You thought there was a fireball around the Apollo capsule? I get the feeling that much mass crashing through the atmosphere is going to be a tad bit warmer. And it will take one helluva propulsion system to take off of whatever body we land on. Maybe, just maybe, if we had stuck with exploration after the Apollo program we would be half a century away. Now? The entire infrastructure has to be built from the ground up. Technologies we don't have will have to be created to overcome hurdles we haven't even thought of. And we are 32-trillion and counting in debt. No bucks, no Buck Rogers. But hey, I like the optimism. It's why I tune in from time-to-time. Maybe your great, great, great, grandchildren will see it, provided we are still around and something hasn't happened to, as George Carlin once delicately put it" "Kick us off this rock like a bad case of the fleas."

  2. "Jagged sharp and abrasive"...šŸ¤”sounds a lot like my ex-wife. šŸ¤£Sorry honey, it's their fault. They left me wide open just beyond the three-point line. How could I not take the shot?
