STOP LETTING THESE MORONS KILL PEOPLE WITH THEIR BAD IDEAS.
INNEPTITUDE ISN'T INNOVATION, YOU VAPID LEECH ON SOCIETY.
HAVING MONEY AND POWER DOESN'T MAKE YOUR IDEAS GOOD. STOP WASTING LIVES AND RESOURCES ON DUMB SHIT.
Putting a floating colony on Venus is pretty valid idea, the soviets wanted to do that too if I recall.
Now obviously if this loser and his capitalist cohort do it thousands will die when the colony sinks into the surface
Hey, if they want to spend their money on a one-shot plunge to the crushing, acidic depths of Venus then I think they should take that opportunity.
make it 1,000 billionaires that way when it inevitably goes tits up, nothing of value is lost.
I mean yeah I'm just annoyed because they waste so much money on their stupid bullshit. Imagine what a communist country could do with that money
He points to research that suggests there is a sliver of the Venusian atmosphere about 30 miles from the surface where humans could theoretically survive because temperatures are lower and pressure is less intense.
I have this shuttering vision that this is the crux of his motivation. If he's a silver bug then he is proposing Venus so that he can either fuck with some world elite or he is the world elite who needs to stop people who are stacking silver in the hopes of calling their bluff about a dwindling circulating supply. Why wouldn't a billionaire [redacted] himself [redact] about innovation to the end of commodity pricing? He'd call himself a modern Columbus bravely taking on the sea while naysayers sit on their hands in Europe.
Red Mars is for the rich, Venusian Sickness is for the poors. Eh, fuck it, I'm down to infest
The Venus atmosphere thing is like the most realistic place for a extraterrestrial colony, in the solar system. Although given the track record, I wouldn’t put my live into the hands of muskmen and their bazinga brains.
