It is totally ****ing disgusting to see that stupid *******
talking about Arthur C. Clarke as though they were pals, and

some people cant distinguish works of fiction from the real world

I wish someone would head-butt that condescending fraud out of action.

I just like the observation that the "relentless force of gravity"
should give Iapetus a perfect spherical shape whilst at the same time
the surface gravity is so weak that building the purported 'wall' would
be easy.

Oh, and another one
On the first page it talks about the low tensile strength of ice (when
arguing that Iapetus, at less than 900miles across should be perfectly
spherical), but on the second states that low temperatures turn "water
into a mineral with the strength of steel".

Heh, Heh, Heh.

I hate defending Hoagland, but I'm not sure there's a real contradiction
there. Even on Iapetus, if you go down more than a kilometer or so the
pressure will overcome any reasonable tensile strength, so a planet
assumes a spherical shape. And while the surface layers may be cold
enough to have considerable strength, it may not be so cold at depth.
