I personally think you are the absolute cutting edge
or organic farming. "When" we humans venture out into
space and grow our own food along the way, your
techniques will be solely needed. Out own planet
will be need your techiniques solely in the not too
distant future too.

Didn't know you had a cheering section, did you? No!
What did I just say??? I take it back.

What ??? Okay, maybe a little. What ??? Okay, okay,
maybe a lot. :-)


ha, ok, well...

i don't think it is complicated or fancy or
even cutting edge. it's more like what people
would do when thinking about how to recycle
nutrients instead of letting them get thrown
away.

in contemplating any long distance scenarios
it's going to be really interesting to figure out
how metals will work and how they will have to be
recycled or managed. some planets may have no
metals at all. however, i suspect humans may
leave this form behind long before we spread out
too far and perhaps it will make no sense to
dive down a steep gravity well just to have space
when we can have space in space instead. we may
just become space capable ourselves and not need
habitats or plants or any of the rest of the
biological support system we have on this planet.
dunno... would be interesting to be able to
stick around and see what happens.

Sucks that the we lost Stormin home over on the repair
group. Breaks my heart.
