The San Diego company, Orbital Development, OrbDev, has owned Eros since 03 Mar 2000 when the company filed a claim at the Archimedes Institute
OrbDev's founder, Gregory Nemitz, states that Orbital Development has sent an invoice to Dan Goldin, Head Administrator of NASA, in the amount of $20 for the next century's parking/storage fees for the NEAR spacecraft, now resting on OrbDev's property Eros.
Nemitz says, "It is not about the money. The invoice was sent to stimulate serious discussion about Property Rights in Space. Twenty cents a year, for a century, is a bargain. Nobody can rightfully say that OrbDev is ripping-off the US Government."
He also maintains that any agreement on Space Property Rights by the world's Nations could take more than a decade to enact.
Nemitz goes on to postulate that if OrbDev's claim was recognized by the United Nations as a one-time only experiment in "equity-based space resource development", OrbDev could use that recognized equity in Eros' 80 trillion tons of material to raise the funds to develop all of the Space infrastructure pieces that can also enable Lunar and Martian development.
Eros development will require new heavy-lift launch vehicles, micro-gee mining equipment, long-term habitation systems, deep space power systems, fuel extraction and storage equipment.
"The Space Resources Development Industry could be born, while the UN debates the fate of the rest of the Solar System." Nemitz states.
is in the starting blocks and just about ready to starting their run.
I think the site isn't quite ready for primetime, there are still a few uncompleted links.
Their main financial premise seems to be the equity value of owning the 'last mile' to the customer. A customer on fiber is not likely to switch back to cable or DSL, so the company can capitalize on the long-term recurring revenues from the customers.
Maybe it will work for them, who knows?

Yeah, that's it. Regular people can't be trusted with their own minds. Who knows what they might do if Big Brother didn't put its politically correct filters on line.
More crap from the morality-imposers. When will the people finally have enough of this crap and vote those bastards out?
I have been thinking of using a Crusoe-based server in a specialized application. My list would be:
1. Survives high ionizing radiation
2. Redundancy
Multiple CPU boards, with most of them off until the active board fails, next in line automatically turns on to replace the failure.
3. Stability
4. Power
5. Speed
6. Size
7. Cost (actually cost doesn't matter up to $1-2M)

Here is another fool thinking the Government is your friend. When freedom is lost for promises of safety, it is always for false promises.
The government cannot protect you, you must protect yourself.
Many have died defending freedom, think how life was in the 1920's-30's. People were free to do a lot more than we can today, and were responsible about their actions.
WW2 was fought by Americans with idealistic notions of preserving world freedom. They would be appalled at the straight-jacket we now are confined to.
Come on, whenever someone waves the flag of child abuse/porn and stridently calls for ever-increasing restrictions on freedom or privacy, they are flapping a chimera. Society assumes the worst of anyone who objects, must be a child abuser/pornographer. This is the insidious way that your freedom is stolen. Someone wraps their cause in the cloak of something so hideous, no one will dare object becase if they do, they will be painted with the obcenity that the freedom-thief is piously opposing.
I'm glad you like your new hobby, Cmd. Taco. Out of your appreciation of me posting the idea here, the least you could do is buy some excellent beef jerky form my site listed below. Have fun!

Don't sign one unless you know what you are doing. I worked for a company, and then left after 2 two years or so.
If I had signed one, I would have been excluded from working in my perfered field until the agreement expired. As a Space and Lunar Development Consultant, anything I would have done relating to the Moon, would have violated an agreement.

The aerosol isn't to kill Marslife, it is to contaminate the planet with Earthlife to destroy it's pristine condition. The Earthlife contamination would have to be something from our Artic or Antartica, so it will survive present Mars conditions.
A contaminated Mars make the Science Johnnys job in recording what is Martian so difficult they just can't do it, because their fundung won't appear.
Meanwhile, the Mars Development Corporation hires Hardwater Transport, Inc. to move icebergs from Saturn's rings to slam into Mars, before there are too many humans there. The extra water vapor increases the greenhouse effect, and Mars warms up to a balmy 5-10C.
There are some poeple who could make it their mission to work against these credit agencies, some are hackers, some are more extreme.
One small thing everyone can do to create change is take those pre-paid envelopes that regularly come in junk snailmail, stuff them with blank forms or paper, and return them to the junk mailer.
This causes the junkmailer to pay twice for their junk, once to send it, and once to get it back. Plus all the time it takes for their staff to open and discard the blank returns. It not much more than a raised middle finger, but at least it is something, and it hits them where it hurts, the bottom line.
If one of our early robot spacecraft finds life (any kind of life) on Mars, you can expect at least a 100 year moratorium on humans settling on Mars.
The tree-huggers will insist that the lifeforms must not to be distrubed, and the Science Johnnys will insist that Mars not be despoiled with Earth DNA until they can 'thoroughly research' the Mars-life.
The answer of course, is for some private space development hot-head to mount a Mars mission that sprays an aerosol of Earth-life to contaminate Mars with Earth-life, ASAP.
A project like that will moot the underfunded Science Johnnys, avoid the moratorium, and allow early development of that planet, to the benefit of mankind.
The most fit species survive and overtake any ecological niche. Mankind is the seed-carrier of Earth-life, Marslife must die when we terraform Mars anyway.
I was quoted nearly $400 per month for a family of three. My pre-existing excuse for the jacked premimium? I'm 6' and 265lbs. Wife and kids are healthy.
Nuclear powered spaceships can be built and operated that so that they won't harm the Earth. Build them on the moon and operate them in deep space. The Moon has lots of thorium, uranium and other radioactives to mine.
The moon is already a radioactive hell from solar radiation. It has no living environment, its a dead world with the resources we need to supply our civilization.
The enviornmentalists must recognize that industry must move off the Earth so we can clean it up. It could involve some short-term environmental expense to the Earth, but in the long run moving polluting industry off the Earth is essential.
Liberty undefended is Liberty lost.
High School students are indoctrinated in Government schools so it is not surprising that they know nothing about real freedom.

Depends on the Veggie. Political Veggies would loose their objections. Health-nut veggies would be split, even if they made 0% fat meat.
Cultured meat could be started from human muscle, bringing back canabalisim, in a way. What would the morality-imposers think of that?
Still, the best beef jerky available today, is at http://www.beefjerky.com ---shameless plug.

Ever since the first proto-human used a stick to stir up a hill of termites for a snack, tools became weapons.
The next thing that happened was his buddy tried to grab a few termites, and was promptly wacked with the stick. Nothing new here.
