| Think I'll wait for the space elevator. It will take about the same time to construct. It will allow easy access to all rather than just giving the corporation that built an orion a monopoly of asteroid mining. Plus I agree with others that have stated it that accidents do happen. What do you do when the nuclear pulse bombs run out or you get a faulty timer and one that was ment to go off four seconds later goes off immediately instead. Mining the asteroids is a great idea and it will be done one day but it has to be a long term project. I prefer the idea of a tug boat that can bring them back into high earth orbit for a start
I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs and insanity for everyone, but its always worked for me.
