The Atomic Rocket website went down about 8:00 pm on June 30th. I am trying to get in touch with the website host to fix the problem. Please be patient.

Winchell Status Report: Oncologist says my cancer is in remission. PSA levels dropped from 200 to 0.5. I will be on testosterone blockers for the foreseeable future. At some point the cancer will come back. Doctor mentioned that some patients live for up to 6 more years.

That'd be kind of interesting to see, then, because we might catch them coming in past Jupiter...and then they _don't_ bother coming any closer.

The big questions are (1) what can we do about it (at this point, not much, just _seeing_ what they're up to would bee a challenge, much less a probe) and (2) who are they, where'd they come from, and why're they out there anyway? (which I lack an answer to ATM).

There's a science fiction premise I've tossed around a bit where some kind of aliens show up...and start taking apart the Oort cloud and setting up operations out there without apparently caring about what humans are up to. I think it's a nifty twist on the ol' alien invasion.

@atomicrockets, what is Sol system for harvesters? The gas giants are a pain to dredge up and even the ice giants are no picnic. It's not the inner worlds either. The real riches are reserved for the ice pirates. ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/19…
