- Solomon Epstein. -- nm - Beryllium May 27, 11:52 11
  - I still don't understand that story. I need closurre! -- nm - Mop May 27, 11:57 7
    - Uh. He dead. His ship is on the drift, further away than any other earth ship. -- nm - Beryllium May 27, 11:58 6
      - 1 - We don't know how his story got told if he dead. 2 - We don't know how his technology got shared if he dead. -- nm - Mop May 27, 12:07 4
        
        He explicitly said something about leaving notes for his wife. And eventually a ship could have gotten to him and recovered him/his ship. -- nm - TWuG May 27, 12:11 2
        
        Some say you can still see his ship... I think Ashford said so. -- nm - Beryllium May 27, 12:18
        
        All the schematics were on their server at home, he said. She'd be rich. -- nm - Beryllium May 27, 12:17
        
        He is dead but didn't hang himself. Oh, wait..wrong Epstein -- nm* - JD May 27, 12:09
      - But his widow is wildly rich! -- nm - TWuG May 27, 11:59
  - The touch screen didn't kill him. His failure to account for the extra Gs and how to operate under that load is what killed him. -- nm - TWuG May 27, 11:53 1
    - For want of a working voice interface... -- nm - Beryllium May 27, 11:57
  - And this is why I refuse to fly-by-wire. -- nm - Ba'rona Beast May 27, 11:53
