(So, you expect that in a lousy 25 years there won't be budgetary and
funding problems? The folks running that space station are probably 
lucky to get AIR, much less enough men and materials to finish construction,
what with all the budget being eaten up for Lunar exploration and
excavation and Jovian expeditions... :-)

I always did think that "2001" was far too near a date to use; I vote
for 2051 or 2071 for the new edition. (:-) Anybody have any better
or more rigorous reasoning for a realistic date?
