A lot of people including some Freepers may mock, but this is really an incredible work of technology for a private entity to pull off.

"Get your ticket to that 'wheel in space' while there's time; the fix is in. You'll be a witness to that 'game of chance in the sky', you know we've got to win."
"You've got to admit it; at this point in time that it's clear, the future looks bright." Song: I.G.Y, Donald Fagan, Album: The Nightfly
Since the film 2001 was released in 1968; I'm still waiting for that PanAm Clipper, and that "Wheel in space".
Sadly, I won't live to see it in my lifetime: Too little vision on the part of NASA and others, too many opportunities wasted and too much money squandered.
That said; thanks Arthur C., and Stanley K. for one heck of a visionary story that ignited and inspired the imagination of a generation.
