At the very least, it would get some people to think outside their own orbits.Bud Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613675297997395991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-24420868291001623512008-05-23T08:07:00.000-05:002008-05-23T08:07:00.000-05:00I've always felt that our place here on Earth was ...I've always felt that our place here on Earth was to get off the planet.
