Abstract
If you want to explore space, think in cosmic terms . . . Think big. This concept demonstrates the powers of imagination and how mankind may eventually learn to turn an entire planet into a launch platform. This particular brainstorm has been an inchoate daydream in the back of Hodges' mind for quite a few years.
