#1 That's it. Build a big beautiful wall around the solar system.

A different look at it.

What if it bumps into some big rock in the Asteroid Belt?

Given A11pl3Z, 12.4M diameter size, it could very well start a solar domino effect.

To give you an idea on the size of some of the stuff floating around in the Asteroid Belt

#3 "This has only happened twice before.."

Um, I tend to disagree. Maybe for just this century, perhaps.

#7 'Rendezvous with Rama' is one of my favorites. The second one is..fine. 'Orphans of the Sky' is a good read.

In video game land fairly recently, one of the expansions to 'Ark' looks set in Rama. Gave me the opportunity to share with eldest that book. Think I planted a seed, like I did with Lovecraft.
