It’s a sign of the times.

As you wish.

I’ve been occupying myself with thinking about how Elon Musk will solve three problems regarding taking humans to Mars and back.

1) Artificial gravity.
2) Growing food on the trip.
3) Providing power.

Some of these are related, so it makes a pretty puzzle.

To be honest, making sure that the “skydiver maneuver” works for landing the Starship is much more important right now, but I’m just doing some thinking down the road.

It’s what would-be science-fiction writers do. With Musk around, it’s a challenge to stay ahead.
