There are worse things to be called; (don't ask how I know this). But I don't see being called "Bob" as a bad thing.
I'm working on that Venus thing. Unlike my brother, I don't go into things just to get them done. I like to think my way through it first.
The direct approach of taking all three of our Habitats to Venus may not be practical or prudent. One of the first things we would want to do is ship stuff from Venus back here ... but there would be no "here" here.
We'll want to maintain a presence in the Asteroids. However, as far as moving things around the Solar System, Venus is an easier and faster destination from here than Earth is. (It has to do with minimum-transfer "coasting" orbits. Venus orbits nearly twice as fast as Earth, so it is in position for lauch or destination twice as often.)
We also need to get material from Venus in order to gain access to Venus. A chicken and egg situation.
Thus, the scenario calls for the modification and use of our shuttles. We'll need to move stuff around before we're ready to start moving things around.
Clear?
.
Anyway, we'll be building a rotivator rather than a skyhook, at least to start with.
I may eventually arrange to bring the Flying Castle to Venus, just for the novelty of it, but that will have to wait until I've got things sorted out.
You remind me of Norm Crosby.
Oddly enough, I understood him.
Perfectly clear.
I'll wait.
When I am called ¨Bob¨ I know they have forgotten my name. But for some reason itś always Bob.
