    I love that the Danik being taken in, from an outside perspective, seems like charity. From a humans perspective it makes total sense. You have a race with advanced technology that is willing to share it for the low low price of a place to live. It makes complete sense to make that deal and it’s 100% something we’d do if aliens showed up one day begging for help. Cause the temptation is too powerful to worry about potential risks.

    Reminds me a lot of the story of Tri-Planetary and the eventual Lensmen series that came from that. Humans capture, reverse engineer, and modify all the tech they come up against, so that no two battles are fought the same way as the conflict expands, going from ship to ship, to massive fleets, to literally throwing planets at each other, to a beam that uses an entire star as its focusing lens, and the final one was a pair of planets, one made entirely of antimatter, accelerated in another dimension to beyond light speed, and then dropped out into normal space with a fold of the other dimension following, so the two world collided around the enemy capital planet.
    That series was awesome.

      @@Skyblade12 It's not very good, and it's why EEDoc Smith's estate put a kibosh on any more adaptations of the work. As it's own thing, it's a very 80s anime, with high production values, and it uses the names of the story, but does more of a Star Wars plot with it all, with the Lens being less of a 'magic feather' as it turns out to be in the books, and more of an actual weapon designed to kill the big bad Boskone...which is a giant blob monster.

      It took 3 centuries to transform manufacturing into industralization, but only one to move from steam machines to nuclear reactors, and even less to switch from fission to fusion, because let's be honest here, with the way the current progress with nuclear fusion is going, sustainable nuclear fusion is just around the corner
