*** Yeah a mission to IAPETUS and ALPHA. Possible Constructs ? Lets Check Em Out? Lets bring an Asteroid into Orbit around Earth . . . mine it . . . hollow it out . . . build on it ? Why do we have to lift any material off the earth to build in Space when the material is already out there floating around? You need A Foundation To Build On ! Nanotubes [composites of plastic ] dont create a Foundation. Its like the skeleton of your house . . . the studs . . . the wiring and plumbing ! But Nanotubes are not the building material? Stone is the Foundation of all Spacecraft from the Past to Eternity ! For in Space Weight is irrelevant and only helps to create its own gravitational field and eventual propulsion systym out of this systym !       ***nD3*   c.
