    Some people just have this belief that space should
    be for everyone...

    In my scenario, it *is* for everyone who is born
    at the destination. The only ones that need to
    be really small are those very few who actually
    cross the great gulf.

    Well, Im not sure I follow your reasoning with
    that analogy, but I can assure you Adrian,
    we will not be able to take very many of the
    humans currently on this planet to Mars. spike
