One thing that came up in this interview that I'm ashamed to admit never occurred to me before: the US is not the only entity that has explored this problem in detail.
Anyway, it's a fascinating (if longish) interview and well worth reading if you're interested in some of the practical details and some of the questions that they've asked and answered.
