If he wanted to send 2000 ships even as far as the Moon, he would have to launch at least 10000 ships, perfectly, to supply them with fuel. So that would be 13 flights per day, every day, for two years. Assuming no boil off in orbit. So I’m skeptical.

The post isn’t incorrect, but every fucking morning the first thing I see on bsky begins with some variant of “This is absolutely terrible news.”
And then a lot of what follows is much the same.
I need some space, man.

I am kind of mad and jealous that an Icelandic news story is the clearest, most BS-free explanation of the impossibility of this setup.

there’s a chapter in there that I keep going back to just because I love the writing. it involves s death. I should connect it to this, from the article.
![Adam Becker: Kurzweil tries to get around this by saying that you're not going to be immortal, but you can live as long as you want to. Sure, that gets around some of it. But Kurzweil also thinks that we're going to find a way around the second law of thermodynamics, which we re not. [highlighted by poster] I do think that fear of death is at the root of a lot of this, if not all of it.[end highlight] I don't know if I would go as far as to say that death is what gives life meaning. I would say that the human experience is defined by the limitations that death imposes, the fact that our time is limited. If you remove that constraint, that would fundamentally alter the human condition in ways that very well might not be pleasant.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mepn5b4aig4za4pxzkdirrih/bafkreihroivs2yxfy4u67xxjln4g6xj7m2pz43ts5kzraiiq5vsh3ydmvu@jpeg)

Mine was the 1984 626 ($500, jack, heater fan, struts & brakes). Manual tx, last year it was carbureted. Played the saddest song in the world when you left the keys in the ignition. Looked just like this.

he is still drawing a paycheck to work on “special projects” because you don’t kick to the curb a guy who would s*** on Jackie Robinson for you; eventually you’re going to find a use for him.

this amazed me because 1) it accepted the guess as a word 2) the bot did not tell me that the guess was “unlikely to be the answer).

Just to be clear, an unelected person who has taken zero oaths to uphold the constitution, sits in cabinet meetings and insists that it would be better to have *empty chairs* in air traffic control centers than minorities.
