    RIP indeed. If launch costs were much lower, the idea becomes more feasible. The primary critique was always beam safety, but I did see plans that delivered seriously useful power at power densities that birds, planes and satellites could pass through unaffected. The safety tradeoff is a larger ground footprint.

    Of course the cost of the shuttle launches killed it (powersats) as well as O'Neil's habitats.

    That's right. And what has the ISS achieved? (use an extra sheet of notepad paper if you must)

    Well that Italian chappie who nearly drowned in space put me right off manned orbital flights or at least space walks, Avatars should be used instead.

    You could always try two people in a floatation tank to see if 'docking' was possible.

    I'm really going to miss Don Pardo.

    Whenever I would watch a new SNL episode, listening to his voice at the announcement gave me a sense of reassurance.

    Don Pardo was one of the healthiest looking nonagenarians i've ever seen. Look at this, for God's sake.

    I'm sorry to see that. He was sounding weak the past few years.
