Well, looks like plans to re-kickstart the Star Wars program are well underway with a big lobby-fest in Washington for new contracts. Others, however, are talking about geoengineering a massive solar shade (55, 000 orbiting mirrors) in front of the planet to reflect enough sunlight that could counter carbon dioxide; or, even using hydrogen bombs to blow the earth further out into orbit away from the sun to help cool the planet. All the while, the top nations are racing to urbanize the moon in what is expected to be the real estate boom of the future. Some crazy reads, to be sure, check 'em out.

cool Scott. and then there's Gagnon's classic, of course.
