My novel Andorra Pett and the Oort Cloud Café goes into the detail of how this would be achieved. It's also a good whodunnit. Excuse the plug.

This exploration is the driver behind one of my series. We start by mining the rocks in Saturn's rings, go on to livestock farming in space, mine titanium on the moon and end up with a potential mission to Psyche 17. All overlaid with an amateur detective set of Miss Marple-style adventures.

Hi, I'm a scifi writer and worldbuilder, with a published textbook on the subject.

I will investigate. At the moment, I'm working on a tachyon capture reactive setup.

Thanks. It's fun, trying to think like an alien and imagine how they might do things differently.

Thank you so much,

So true, I write to get the stories out of my head, before it explodes with all the idea buzzing around in it. Readers are a bonus, reviews are the icing on the cake.

Great post, such truth. ❤️

My minor characters scream for more exposure. They all have lives and a tale to tell. In fact, there are several who have graduated to having starring roles in their own stories.
