  1. First, let me allay any concerns you have about your ability to deal with numbers. Assuming your research gave the correct figure of 330 houses powered by one megawatt per hour (although I'd have guessed that it would power more than that, but I'm not an engineer), then one megawatt per second would, indeed, power 1,188,000 homes.
    I was fascinated by the idea of the planetoid as a powered spaceship. It very much reminded me of the original Star Trek episode, "For the World is Hollow, and I Have Touched the Sky", first aired in 1968, in which a degraded civilization lives underground, unaware that they are on a space ship which is dangerously off-course. I wonder if the writer of that episode may have been inspired by this particular comic book.

    1. I never thought of that connection with the classic Star Trek episode. Great point!
