A few others have mentioned what I went through as well. After a rather rapid start there were some very slow parts. Not to mention the entire premise is no longer possible given what science now knows. Simply put this story shows it's age. It's still a fun a read just not as fun as it was when first written.

Coming from an EE background alot of what is said falls into the common sense realm. I guess was expecting something a bit more earth shattering. Nice read though.
