Author Topic: Keene Observations Eryk Davis Ester Created from the Cosmic Legends of the Universe! posted                       So I've always beem fascinated by Thomas Keene, the aging prospector who discovered an alien mineral which restored his youth during the first Starfinger story. I wonder what happened to him? When he first appears, he becomes a sensation because it seems like the mineral he discovered, rejuvium, is going to revolutionize 30th century society by ending aging. The other major reference to rejuvium is in the later Levitz issues, when Shady is searching for a way to heal Mon, and is headed to a planet where rejuvium treatments are available. I believe that it's described as "forbidden" or at least implied that it's not readily accessible in the U.P. Why? Could it be there were unexpected side effects of the rejuvium that Keene ingested? Could it be that it was not able to be synthesized without problems? Other reasons?

A 30th century version of marijuana. Seems to me that there are a great many possibilities, but the ones you suggested are pretty good. -------------------- Loss: How does the galaxy cope w/o the Postboot Legion?

"Hey, who's behind this invasion of Earth?" "'Ida Know'! 'Not Me'!"

If people stay eternally (or very long) young, not much call for many branches of medecine. There does seem to be some ethical resistance today to the idea of people extending their lives far beyond the natural limits - usually along the lines of "there's too many people already" and "you have to make room for young people". However, it's hard to imagine that being a problem in a future which spans galaxies. It would be a great story to follow up on. R.J.
