[lbo-talk] It's Official: We're Ruled by Loonies

[Westrich, James]

The Lem book that comes immediately to mind is *Fiasco* not *Solaris*.  Not the world's tightest read but as usual with Lem a profound premise:  the Earth spends dozens of years and trillions of dollars to send a space mission to a planet (Qinta) because it has a high chance of  having life.  Well, they get there and something is going on but I won't spoil any further other than the title, fiasco.

 
Also, they do not go "crazy" as such in Solaris.

	My money is on these unlucky astronauts going crazy, Solaris-style.

	I'm just wondering if a program like this will sink the Amercian economy .
