 Good question, Hank.  Wow -- it's like you've actually educated yourself on this stuff, and learned more than Clarke.  If Clarke had just had you around in early 2001 to bounce ideas off you, I'm sure the country would have been better off.

 It's stuff like this that shows you can't be bothered to learn or remember what happened.  Which puzzles me, because I think this stuff is fascinating -- I read these books because it's important and current stuff, not because I'm planning to come here and post about how you don't get it.  That's just a fortunate collateral benefit, like you and your bachelor's degree in science.
