Abstract

Joe and Moe, twins born within minutes of each other, take different paths in life. Joe becomes a lawyer, and spends pretty much all his time on earth. Moe joins NASA while still in high school, and signs up for NASA?s first interstellar voyage, scheduled to take about 50 years of earth time. (Joe once took a two-week holiday at the Orbit Hilton, just to see what it?s like, and decided that the pleasures of zero-g are not for him.)
