| Story Ideas and Burning Questions | I have no story ideas and no plans to become a writer. My pie-in-the-sky ambition would be to be part of a team creating a mission to the Jovian moon, Europa. Short of that, a 15 km high tower (the topic which lead me to this site) seems like a pretty cool project as well. |
