Jovians, always thinking you are so clever with your colony cylinders and your top of the line Exo-Armours and Exo-Suits. None of you would last a single Earth-standard year if you had to live the hand-to-mouth existence we do out here in the Belt, where one rock can be the difference between living a wealthy life for a few years and having to sell out to one of the Earth-side corporations...

:-)

In seriousness, I remember the Shoemaker-Levy impact. It was something that I kept an eye on the news about at the time because it absolutely fascinated me. (I've always had a fascination for the gas giants - reading the published version of 2001, and the various bits and pieces in Clarke's other book of off-cuts and rought draft work at a young age really made them catch in the imagination.
