Clearly someone needs to do a feasibility study on getting that graphite because it will surely be needed for the He-3 fusion reactors! We can't let China get it first!
You know, the people who say that the real solar system turned out to be boring have no idea what they're babbling about. Mercury used to be a boring old rock. Pluto was a boring old iceball.

True enough, but the fact that the Solar System is full of odd and interesting geology and climates doesn't mean it wouldn't be even _more_ interesting with Tweel in it. :)
(I can understand being annoyed with people who haven't moved on from the solar system not being early Heinlein, but at times that seems to extend to an active scorn for people who find fictional solar systems more entertaining than real-world planetology. This seems a bit (speaking of Heinlein) "people who don't like slide rules are subhuman.")
