    Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

    I can only hope that Google hires some gymnastic girls in tights to defend their site...

    Me too!

  6. Re:mir on Using Gravity To Tow Asteroids · · Score: 1


    what's your point? is this proposed 20 ton craft to be a solid ball of lead? i didn't read anything like that. and to your point: a one ton bag of feathers has the same graviational force as a one ton ball of lead... so it doesn't matter the shape or design of the vehicle.

  7. mir on Using Gravity To Tow Asteroids · · Score: 3, Informative

    mir weighed 135 tons and it burned up just fine on its way down. 20 tons, relatively speaking, isn't really all that much.
