Assessment comments

"Exxon (now Exxon/Mobil), along with most petroleum corporations, become water purification corporations after a supposed oil crash in the early 21st century." - What does this have to do with the article? 84.55.83.49 19:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Haven't read the book and know nothing about the subject article (having come from Teleportation), but it sounds to me like this oil crash, and the subsequent change to the company, happens solely in the book. Yes? 88.110.18.221 19:01, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Doh. Misread.84.55.83.49 13:35, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I thought it was Texaco that was mentioned in the story, and the father worked for them and that's why he was jaunting to Mars.

[edit] Pedantic

Just a stupid little correction, but shouldn't the first mention of The Jaunt be in both bold and italics? Ignore me

[edit] Jaunting

Obviously Jaunt should be capitalized but does "jaunting" really need to be capitalized to? It's a verb... -WarthogDemon 02:02, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
