Even though exporting humans to far reaches of the galaxy is fanciful and utterly impossible at this stage of development, and it's this stage of development that we're trying to outrun, I want to say that it's commendable that Lawrence has the imagination to come up with it. It must be part of his writer's arsenal and acumen as poet. He obviously believes in the indominatibility of human know how. If we believe that we can colonize other worlds, then certainly we can clean up this one. The reach must exceed the grasp...
