...others looked at the system and saw a computer- handling expertise that had previously resisted automation. No one, however, was going to build expert systems if they took several years to construct. Solution: create a Mycin without medical knowledge -- in effect, construct an empty shell into which programmers could pour all kinds of different expertise. In 1977 a team of Stanford researchers under Feigenbaum dubbed the new shell Emycin (for Empty Mycin) and used it to build several more expert systems. Emycin spurred a number of start-up companies, led by AI entrepreneurs like Feigenbaum, to build knowledge shells...

That would still leave enough to build an unmanned platform in space while developing a larger manned station in cooperation with other nations...

Those searching for a better life would be well advised to pour the energy they now focus on improving their slam dunks into hitting the books. Excluding, of course, Mandingo...
