is there anything interesting about this thing or is it just a big block
of PVC that hangs out in the sky??]<<<<< >>>>>[Barring
the technicalities that potentially make anything & everything interesting?
No.]<<<<< >>>>>[Perhaps--
But it's also those technicalities that make Apollo very interesting.]<<<<< >>>>>[Your
vagueness astounds even me, Lex. There are important rumors to pay attention
to w/r/t/ Apollo. The most important one here is that this orbital station
is rapidly becoming more of a liability than an asset (as far as Ares
is concerned) and that this 37 year old "block of PVC" might
very well be going up for auction sometime within the next 5 to 10 years.]<<<<< |
