---Mike, I sure hope the SSI site DOESN'T disappear.
What a shame if there are no alternatives being
offered to the planatary bias,,,

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could get the high
frontier on the tube, like Star Gate 1? A reality
oriented, HARD SciFi series, with some real
alternatives to accessing space, like your balloon
supported launcher. Star Gate 1 works because of the
powerful interaction between the characters, facing
rediculous obstacles, alien bad guys and the
inevitable triumph of humanity. However, as anyone who
has watched a hurricane in action, sometimes NATURE
wins. Can a story of human bias, desire for power and
the conflict with the laws of reality stand a chance
against wishful thinking???
