I don't disagree, you're right. However, I think point behind it is that if we're going to do manned exploration (regardless of whether it is smart to choose it), this would be the least expensive first step.
If I had mod points. You're the first person to point out the problems from the call center's point in a disaster that would definitely skew the statistics.
It would have been nice to see a skillful representation of the Mordor viewpoint from within the constraints of the cannon.
Sadly, to my disappointment it is instead a different satirical setting bearing many similarities to Tolkein's world. So in the end it's another author doing a politically correct bedtime story in novel form, and not actually a different perspective in the same novel.

Sadly, to my disappointment it doesn't try to be set in Tolkein's world and is instead a different satirical setting bearing many similarities to Tolkein's world.
The premise is more akin to politically correct bedtime stories than a parallax book like Ender's Shadow.

Sadly, to my disappointment it isn't as the summary first stated,"The Last Ring-bearer is set during and after the end of the War of the Ring and told from the perspective of the losers."

Well if you're a merchant then you realize that it doesn't matter if you accept every other form of payment from cash, to checks, to solid gold bars, if you stop accepting credit/debit cards it's very likely you'll go under.
I can think of very few retail business models that could maintain clients/customers on a cash only basis. Strip clubs, street vendors and a few bars maybe. But even then, they're starting to lose business to competition that has the convenience of accepting plastic. And as more and more people stop carrying cash and checks on them, those cash/check businesses are dwindling.
That's why I boiled your argument down to "do what the credit cards tell them to, or go out of business", because whether you intended that to be your point, (which I'm sure it wasn't), it's an illustration of the realistic result of your suggested alternative.

Obviously not a fan of H.G.Wells.
Is there a charity raising money for him using PayPal?
And a fortune 500 company would have offered 'em a position.
What if they decided not to sell pornography? Would there be an issue then?
A well thought out, well researched and reasoned response.
So do you think that what happened to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was dumb people who thought the laws of economics didn't apply to them?

Point. But an electric generator is useful for powering things besides shields, like a spinal railgun for world domination.
So you've never woken up to a woman or in your bed? Soooo...are you avoiding the crazy, unlucky or just batting for a different team?

Correction.

Actually, it was the Nintendo Fun Club back then.
Vol. 2 Issue 6 April/May 1989 pg 16 and 17
Hints on defeating enemies, a map of all the places you could bomb and burn trees for secrets. There was even a section on the 2nd Quest.
Well, regardless of moderation. I thought this was funny.
Suggesting to someone that they play the Return of Link?
You are a cruel, cruel man.
Actually that's the US version, you're looking for the UK version for this issue:

Why use civilians when the imperial clone army corp of engineers can do it for you at negligible cost?
You should work for the mafia, you would do well.

You're supposed to come out of the closet BEFORE you have sex. Otherwise it just adds to the psychiatric bills.
