In an interview in Co-Evolution Quarterly, a magazine devoted to ecology, Schweickart says, among other things, that perhaps the most beautiful sight in space is a urine dump. A urine dump?

As for the plutonium produced from the waste, it will legally belong to the country that owns the fuel; whether the plutonium is also returned...

The further cost of fertilizing, weeding, spraying, pruning, picking, vinification and bottling makes wine a costly enterprise. Then add the investment in sophisticated equipment: a single stainless-steel 1,000-gal. vat can soak the vintner...
