What, are they going to enact back-to-school legislation for the kids now?

But he's so hungry. :(
So don't use rad-hardened processors, put them in a radiation vault instead. Those become more mass-efficient the more hardware you're putting inside them.
Really, I assure you the people proposing these things have put more thought and expertise into it than a bunch of random Fediverse commentators.
Okay, two then. It's still cheap.
in a non-reusable configuration
Why do you say that? 120 tons is well within Block 4's projected capacity in reusable configuration. 240 tons is almost within it, even.
You're not P1k1e.
In your case, though; if you don't think it's realistic then you don't have to worry about it happening and you can ignore it.
Well, I have to different solutions to that problem that I use:
- My dog-walking route doesn't have a lot of other people to encounter.
- I couldn't care less what they think about me when they do.
Either works on its own, but together it's quite effective.
So, one Starship launch per year. Doesn't sound like a problem.
Another thing they probably didn't think of. Nobody's run chips in space before.
Include spares.
I hope they're reading this thread and taking notes, they probably didn't think of that.
They'd better not try to sell them to anyone who has access to an engineer, then. Just a single engineer will bring the whole scheme crashing down.
I'm not terrified, but I am a bit of a data hoarder and that includes my memories. So what I did was buy one of these things and now whenever I take my dog for a walk I record an audio log. I've got over ten years of them at this point. For most of that time it was just sitting stored in a folder as a bunch of audio files in subfolders by date, but in the past year or two thanks to the sudden advances in AI I've written up a Python script that transcribed them all and lets me search the transcripts. I'm expecting in another year or two I'll be able to feed all this into a local AI and be able to talk to it about this stuff.
So maybe start making logs like this, knowing that someday you'll be able to do some neat stuff with them.
Still better than trading with the US.
