Hi Dave;

You've created a mini flood of your own!  Thanks for the novel reference, I
myself have a little interest in the space exploration realm myself.  Any mail
groups for that yet? P-Orbs? (Personal-Orbitables) P-Ips
(Personal-Interplanetaries) maybe P-Igs (personal-Intergalactics).. Oh this is
fun!

Dive deep.

Seriously, this shared sub is a startlingly cool idea. It seems so obvious now.

Has that company actually built any of those boats yet? Is there anybody out
there with one already? Cuz I'm wondering: What would be the government's
response to a private citizen's organization operating a submarine?

Since I've detected at least a little crossover interest among the group in
space exploration, I'll mention this wild novel I've just read, _Kings of the
High Frontier_, available in electronic form from Pulpless.com. It's about
private space flight. Lots of inspirational encouragement for "homebuilt" types.
I mention it because near the end some government type, trying to prevent
"Subnational" access to space, mentions that it's "for the same reasons we
oppose subnationals with submarines." Ahem.
