Ha! Nice analogy there. A very frustrating experiment. I do still
believe the theory is sound. Perhaps crystals grown without gravity? We
need to be out there working on this crap. With hard vacuum handy and
very low gravity at say a Lagrange point.
Stuck here on the planet is holding everything back. We can do better
work and discover so much more if we could just get out there and take
advantage of the environment. We need manufacturing and labs out there
not campers. Anyway back to what I can do.
