Galileo Shrinkage | Songs of Space & Nuclear War

Yes my friend, I am a space farmer. I grow zero-gravity crystals, harvest helium-3 from the moon's surface, and extract drinking water from asteroids, all for the benefit of mankind. I am a space farmer.

Galileo Shrinkage

Posted: October 19, 2009 in European Commission, Galileo, International Space
