Er, since I was giving pgerassi a hard time about liquid H2 in motor vehicles yesterday, I got to raise a flag on that one. All the stuff with robotic cryogenic fuel dispensers and voluminous other new infrastructure sounds incredibly practical and economical compared to doing anything large scale in space. He was talking about the near term future, I was talking about the next couple of hundred years. If I was still alive and there was no major world wide disaster (asteroid hit, nuclear war, whatever) in the next couple of hundred years I would be suprised if we didn't have some large scale space activity by 2200. Fusion power has been 10 years away for about 50 years I think practical use of it is more then 10 years away, but it could easily be less then 50. Your right about the clean and cheap part being important. If it is clean and cheap it will change the world. Tim
