Its happened before... Carl contemplates that the "submission to ethnic, religious or national identifications" and the rejection of scientific values will leave us tenuously on the brink of a 2nd (and possibly final) dark age. http://www.carlsagan.com/ User Spiff embedded this clip on Videosift with the following description: - In this excerpt from the final episode of Sagan's 'Cosmos,' he discusses why the momentous discoveries of the ancient world were unable to prevent the dark ages from virtually banishing scientific thought for a millennium, and how the ancient world's greatest repository of knowledge, the great library of Alexandria, met its regrettable end. A sobering statement on what ignorance, apathy and fanaticism can do if left unchallenged. .

You could have orbital stations that refuel from the gas giant's rich atmosphere.

Sadly you're right. It's happened in India and in Alexandria even during the latest enlightenment during the protestant revolution have suppressed science and its discoveries and it's discoverers like Hypatia for far too long and I can tell the next tragedy will soon unfold...
