From: Marvin Minsky <MINSKY at MIT-OZ> Agree fully. Here are all those people worrying about the lunar teleoperator being slow. I bet that for about 100 megabucks or so we could have had a slow remote builder on the Moon for the last whole decade. It could have moved slowly, using a few dozen watts of thermal or photovoltaic power, and those cute wax-powered thermal motors, painted black on one side, white on the other. Imagine what we could have done in those 3,000,000 one-minute manipulations. -------
