For antigravity? Im surprised it wasnt a military operation from the get-go.
It makes me wonder about the state/government of earth that is not.
There is no evidence of the earthers having the tech for it, the potential benefits would seem to be enough to make it a strategic priority.
On loose ends: What happened to Norm? Last I saw he had been kicked out of his avatar and had proceeded to grab a rifle and mask and go back out. I dont recall
what happened after that.
Exactly what will the great-mother/gaia-mind be up to now that it has presumably absorbed the knowledge of a phd. Granted, her specialty in botany is probably
useless to something thats evidently been gengineering its own bioscape for centuries. How much other general and non-specialized knowledge is going to fill
unknown gaps in its understanding though?
A PHD in the botany of year 2145 probably knows a lot about the general physics of things like advanced instrumentation and space travel, too.
Thoughts on the setting:
Cold sleep and six year journeys to pandora. Does that mean ftl or no-ftl? Ship is spidery and long long long. Is it a *ram scoop*?
That may mean pandora has up to six years to prepare before earth is even aware of events, and 12 years before any response can come back.
