Earth Economical changes due to Fenspace

[Black Aeronaut]

Metal glut indeed. Even with all that construction going on, I can still see the Fen exporting a good deal of raw materials to the US - enough to have at least some impact on the market. And the delivery method would be dirt-simple: A heat shield aimed in the right direction with a set of chutes set to go off at the appropriate intervals - basically just a one-time-use re-entry sled up-scaled for heavy cargo. Have them land someplace least likely to hurt someone or something (say, Death Valley?) and there you go.
