Mike, I was speaking of public interest and opinion. No one but those whom
I will refer to without rancor as "the faithful" are even aware of this,
let alone discussing it to develop a working objective, plan, and schedule.

Maybe you ought to talk about diamonds floating around up there -- you
might get more public and private support. Then when the first couple of
habitats are built, you could take a cue from our President and say, "Well,
gee, we thought there were diamonds here, but now that we're here we can't
find any, so let's go to plan B and generate some microwaves instead." :-)
