I never understood how Belters could ever have an economy in this setting. Everything they do is based around cargo shipping, yet they suck at it. Why would you give your shipping contract to belters who have to burn at 0.5G or whatever, when you could get an Earther crew who can go at 1.2G?

Also regarding Mars, my analogy is "Why keep your cult in England when the New World is discovered".

It feels like you should be able to protomolecule up the Belters so they can live wherever they want.

So far they've been using it to make fancy composite materials, but things are going to go a lot further as the technology develops.

Jew it to it! posted:

You contribute nothing to this thread and many others in The Book Barn. I contributed to your posting by replying, and as a result I am an idiot. But seriously, dude, do you really get any satisfaction by making GBS threads up the Expansion, Sci Fi, Warhammer 40k and more threads? Lord, save me from Lum avatars.

Did you forget to hit next page?
