If you use the initial production to produce the energy for making the next batch and so on. Set up shop in the dessert and you have the sand as well as the sunlight. Big solar powered robot that crawls across the desert gobbling sand and excreting cells... Cool stuff.
But if Blimps caught on there would be a market for the gas that is otherwise wasted. The effort of collecting it from natural gas wells would be worth it. Which should increase the availability of the gas for future use. And the effort in finding safe storage and transportation for Hydrogen may be of use with Helium as well and you get that for free. Gasoline used to be a waste product.
Would not a field of panels cause condensation. Addding the possibility of greenhouse gas reduction from additional biota? As well as a cool place to hunt BEM's?
I also was wondering when this thought would be brought up. So every stellar object old enough to have evolved a planetary sytem but instead has a hole in orbit marks a grave site. Ought to be some way to count them. See if the statistics equate. Fermi's..
Funny, I had the same thought. Heechee heaven.
If you wanted to not loose something. A circular orbit a few billion klicks from the primary ought to be good for a while.
Evolution in action? You are correct but it wont happen that way. A negative aspect of civilization from a god like perspective. Perhaps technology will step in and correct the problem before we recess ourselves into squishy monsters.
Sorry but it's "Just air" that I was referring to. Used to fill tanks. It has been a few years but I was referring to the standard dive shop tank fill service.

Frustrating what we cant know.
love potions that work? Loyalty supplements in your school lunch?
I agree. I write in assembly all the time. But it is for small embedded processors.

So how come /. and Fark fade out and leave me sans entertainment before I crash? Cant we outsource some help to a different time zone?

Cities in flight or something like that was the name of the book. Instant association for me.

Absolutely brilliant. Had a good time laughing. Thanks
Nuff said
Why do I need bluetooth to sync my razr when I could scribe a piece of papyrus? LOL
Crystals and holy water?
Exactly? Mark of Spam

Why dont we all take out our photon drives (laser pointer) point em westerly and fix the real problem?
All your base are ........
Sorry but I read this list as all the right reasons for the prize. A thorny problem with obvious returns. That's what NASA is for.

A typical SCUBA tank is filled to 3000 PSI and boy do they make a bang. And that's just air.
