Despite the many mysteries inherent in the Voice of Altair, terraforming was expensive and we colonized the heck out of the planet.  Turns out some of the more interesting stellar and planetary bits of the system make for some really good cropland.  And vineyards.  Altairian Champaign is something else.  And I usually stay away from foo foo drinks like that.  They’ve got good food there.  Healthy farm girls too.  It’s a fun place to visit.
