Thanks for the article - I enjoyed how it attempted to give the reader a sense of scale.

There are just too many unknowns...we need a better uderstanding of how space and time interact, i.e. propulsion can only take you so far - the distances are too great.

Regards, Vince

        Ok. I've read an awful lot of sci-fi and I can't really say that my opinons haven't been at least influenced by their books. - SDF - 12/27/2005 6:25:59 PM

        Can't argue with that, most sci-fi authors have been wrong about the future - SDF - 12/28/2005 7:17:06 AM
