Quote:Oh, right! I remember thinking that the GC folks might do a "Martian Way" job and grab an ice chunk from Saturn's rings (if there's a big enough one) or from the Oort Cloud, bring it to L3, and sell it off in hundredweights for pennies to anyone who needs water. If Rockhounds is going to go into that business, though, that would predate our arrival -- no problem there.
One of the biggest necessities in maintaining any sort of biosphere off-earth is fresh water, and there's a good amount of ice, as far as is currently theorized, among the asteroids (and Saturn's rings, comets, etc, etc, etc).
