At best, they wou ...

Hey, when did Martin Bower's web site go offline?
Has he switched to another domain or something?

Are we cherry-picking here, just a bit?

I thought we were having a discussion, but if you feel that I am nit-picking, dragging things out or even being deliberately obtuse, just say the word.

If the amount of hydrogen is small, why is it a problem that the collector aperture is relatively small?

In order for any collector to be even remotely efficient, it would have to be capable of act ...

I can imagine that being a docking tube.

But the idea of that being a hydrogen collector just doesn't make sense. Along with the fact that there is very little free Hydrogen in interstellar space, ...

Using a nearby ladder would undoubtedly be faster than waiting for a single service elevator, with the exception of moving Kane, the elevators would be counter-productive.

Even based on your own drawings, there are a lot of internal, pressurized rooms and corrido ...

I liked the ladder/lift idea, but wouldn't it make more sense for there to be some sort of service elevator?
