It's true: "In 1943, Norwegian author Knut Hamsun went to Nazi Germany and met with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. After returning to Norway, he sent his Nobel medal to Goebbels as a gesture of thanks for the meeting. Goebbels was honoured by the gift." What an extarordinary precedent.

So, something we got into a bit for the space book is the idea of resources as the source of wealth, because (a) it's widely believed, and (b) it's a claim used to justify all sorts of outlandish space ideas. The short version is that resources are a teeny tiny fraction of wealth.

When people argue that renewable energy sources are too expensive, remember that we don’t invade countries to seize wind farms and there are no solar cartels. Fossil fuels have enormous geopolitical, public health, and climate externalities.
