[ExI] put up with me

[William Flynn Wallace]

Adrian, there are some topics you guys discuss that do not pique my
interest, and some of them are beyond my ability to understand.  Must have
been one of those.  For example, I have not done anything but a quick scan
on living on the Moon.  Or black holes.

Quick (I hope) question;  do you have to get permission from national and
international agencies to do what you do re space?  Is there anything,
anyone stopping someone from taking a deserted island and launching
whatever they want to?
