I think what I really liked was the optimistic way he handled the idea that human ingenuity could find ways to overcome such handicaps as "even with records of how our terrestrial ancestors generated electricity and did other technological tricks, we still can't start mining for iron and other useful metals because there isn't any dry land on the entire planet! But we'll work around that problem, somehow!" :-) | |
