Ceres as a source of fuel

Eventually, Ceres will be filled with ice tunnels and can serve as
habitat for people with natural radiation shielding.
After that, then what?
Low gravity sex, obviously.

I've long thought that marketing the thrill of zero-G sex would be the
best way to get space tourism going. *Porn worked for the internet,
maybe it'll work for space too.

You just got to laugh at the 'low earth orbit is nowhere' and the
'forever stuck in LEO' crowd, along with the 'going in circles forever'.

Do they provide zero-g strings?

Ceres and Pluto are the last great unknowns in this solar system
At least we'll get a taste of it at Vesta is 2011. I am very excited.

BTW, Ceres also supposedly has lots of hydrocarbons mixed in with that
water ice. *One could use solar to slowly break the water into O2 and
H2, use the H2 for either nuclear or solar thermal rockets and then burn
the hydrocarbons in the O2 as fuel for getting payload to and from
cycler (Ceres-Earth cycler and Ceres-Mars cycler) orbital craft.

In the New World Order of the capitalist' solar system, our solar system's
socialists will hide in the catacombs of Ceres which will have been filled
with trash of the previous inhabitants who found methane from the
atmosphere of Jupiter to be a more lucrative. *All will go well for them
until the socialist's discovered a way of producing hydrocarbons from
Ceres that was making them rich enough to be noticed by the New World
Order, "US owns the world" dictators. *At that time they will be given the
Gaza treatment with a lucky few escaping to Pluto or Mercury. *Gaza's
problem is that there's a large off shore gas reserve which is suppose to
belong to Israel. *East Timor had a similar problem, off shore oil
reserves which were suppose to belong to the New World Order dictators.

Riddle of the day. *Why did god put Christian oil under Islamic sand?

Ceres is a wee bit too small, too far away and meanwhile Earth is
falling apart at the seams. However it certainly could be used as a
near fly-by dump sight.

Why not go after the second captured moon of Earth (Cruithne 3753)?
