*** REPLACE THIS MESS WITH YOUR LINEAGE ***
Altair is a first magnitude star comparatively close to Earth.  Coincidence
is probably the answer; how many SF stories have been set around Alpha

Question for devotees: "Forbidden Planet" deals with a technology that
creates solid objects out of thoughts.  At least one Star Trek episode
deals with the same thing.  Name it and others you can think of.
