Transplanting a Seattleite

I don't know where you're getting the data to form your assessment of my views.  Not from me,  certainly.

I will point out that we'd have to launch every ICBM of World War III every day to rival, let alone exceed, what jet airliners are already doing to the atmosphere.  (Rockets - pfui!  They leave the atmosphere!)  And Pittsburgh at full blast with Detroit thrown in, would not make enough pollution on the vastness of the Moon to even be noticed. Especially if it's on the Farside!

Of the two, I know which I'd rather pollute!  Having your industries on Earth is akin to cooking for your family on an open fire in the living room. Folks did that in the Middle Ages, but stopped doing it as soon as possible!

So let's have no more sneering about slide rules.  I'm proud to have my father's slipstick, and I can use it, too!


               



p.s.  As for hitting things, the Pacific is a nice big landing pad; see Project Apollo!
