The breathtaking heights of technology.
Why have we no suitable means of mopping up floating pools of oil before they hit shore? Can it be that difficult? Little demand thus no supply?
In the wake of the BP disaster, I hope a quantity of people — sufficient to push things beyond the tipping point — demand that things change. This morning I saw an illustration of the projected dispersal of oil: it spread up the Atlantic coast, past to Cape Canaveral and far beyond.
Makes me want to stow away on a shuttle mission . . . oh darn. Never mind. Those are endangered, too.
