I spent many many hours playing/coding/wizard-ing with several Star Trek themed MOOs and an original space themed version. I thoroughly enjoyed the language and environment. MOO is really where I initially grasped and thrived with OOP.

If you enjoy history, check out Dan Carlin's Hardcore History series on WWI, "Blueprint for Armageddon." About 20+ hours of content.

If it pitted the glass lense, wouldn't the solid exhaust penetrate the plastic bag? I'm surprised there was no other damage.

I think it has more to do with fragmentation.
While it's great, in theory, to have broad skills in many different languages and technologies, it is difficult to be an expert in any of of them without working with them for a significant amount of time.
When I start a new project I'm looking to leverage my expertise in my areas of focus rather than trying to find the perfect technology fit. Without significant knowledge in all options, I may not even be qualified to provide a reasonable evaluation.

I would suggest that planting trees is part of planting a garden. Trees are a renewable resource that if, managed well, produce so many benefits. Where I live, 100's of thousands of acres are managed over offset 30 year cycles.

The 'why' should not matter. Who really cares whether it should be done? or why they would want to do it?
If someone has an interesting problem, let's try and figure out a way to do it. Usually the why comes up along the way, but not relevant.
Thankfully, some great folks stepped in and gave quality responses.
