| Mikah You like to be argumentative. If you want me to take your posts seriously you will have to read what I say, not just keep repeating what you want to believe and accusing me of not reading what you say.

If it succeeded you will have a mini sun. But we already have a sun. And it already works. I found the "Sp... |

| Please read O'Neill. You don't get equipment into space from Earth - you take it from someplace where the gravity isn't so deep. From where? The moon and the asteroid belt. Now read some quotes from Jeff Bezos on why he wants to go to the Moon - the answer will be "resources". Sunlight isn... |
