I slipped in a short RocketCat quote in the MacGuffinite section: <a href="http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/macguffinite.php" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/macguffinite.php</a>#id--MacGuffinite--Mining--Petroleum

Thanks! I'll see about slipping it in.

Thought of another RocketCat quote for Evasive Maneuvering: "So, you think you can just turn around and go after that ship that just passed you, right? Wrong. If you're traveling along one vector, and your ship has been accelerating along that vector for X number of days, then it will take you X number of days to slow down to a stop, whatever that means in space, and then accelerate back up to speed after that other ship. No amount of 'jinking', 'dodging', or 'barrel rolls' will alter that fact of physics." Also, when I read about HD 69830 c, made me think about Fomalhaut and it's only known planet, Fomalhaut b. Fomalhaut has three visible, (OK, two in IR) dust and debris rings around it. Sol Station has a great write up on. I would imagine what the sky would look from a planet orbiting Fomalhaut...
