Admittedly the expedition you mentioned is somewhat far-fetched and the most Sci-fi portion of the series...but is well within our technological capability if we committed ourselves to it in such times...ala the mission to the moon in the 60's.
Again, thanks and have a great 4th of July! Please ping me should you decide to post the review here on FR!...and I will add your name to my ping list as well.
You're very welcome; not much of a "review" but the comments are well-deserved by you and the series. I will consider writing up a separate review-thread. I'm a long-time lurker, but just recently registered, so don't have the hang of the posting thing yet. :-) I would want to take the time to write up something a bit more detailed, and will probably re-read the series before I do it. :-)
Your comment about the expedition made me realize that it's not our technological cabibility I doubt, but our committment. I grew up with the space program, and I still do believe anything is possible if we have the will, and God allows it.
Thanks for adding me to your list!
