If you get headlines like "Earth destroyed, 40% wiped off stock values", then you've probably got a space-based civilisation. If the headline is "Earth destroyed, cannibalism in 6 months.", then you don't. If you can survive totally without earth, even with some problems, then you have a spacefaring civilisation. If you can't, then it's little more than mining camps and hotels, nomatter how many people there are. -- http://inquisitor.i.am/ | | Ian Stirling. ---------------------------+-------------------------+-------------------------- "Looks like his brainwaves crash a little short of the beach..." - Duckman. |
