I just finished The Jungle. Countless people did not fall into the vats. Jurgis heard one story about a fellow that fell into a vat, and it was told as a legend. Ass.
Sure, it's funny....but putting a VW bug in strange places is starting to get a little old. I won't be impressed until they hang something a little larger...like a GTO...
if we were meant to be in this orbit, and therefore meant to die in a few billion years. Would be we morally in the right to try and change this and play god?
That's silly. If we were meant to be stuck in this orbit, then the earliest humans were meant to be eaten by lions and not pick up sticks to protect themseves.
It's an merely an act of self-defence, on a much larger scale.
