Too many to know how many. I used to work late into the night in central Vermont, and would often stop on the way home to just watch an aurora display. There's just something about this phenomenon that grabs me.

You guys in North America are so lucky to live closer to the magnetic pole.
I live on a higher latitude (50+ ° north), and never seen northern lights here.

Our first challenge is to create an entire economic infrastructure, from top to bottom, out of whole cloth. No gradual evolution from previous economic systems is possible, because there is no previous economic system. Each interdependent piece must be materialized simultaneously and in perfect working order.. otherwise the system will crash out before it ever gets off the ground.
~CEO Nwabudike Morgan 'The Centauri Monopoly'
