@nikomedes the idea of all eridian space related endeavors being just complete catastrophic failures is so fucking funny to me. the blip-a broke apart en route and they all died of radiation. They froze their oceans making 7 times the fuel they actually needed. The space elevator accidentally thundercunted their first visitors into the sun. god damn. Rocky it is a miracle you survived at ALL.
like holy fuck the image of a capsule of scientists (why did they not to a test run? don't worry about it) crashing through the roof of the elevator, just getting absolutely FLUNG into space at supersonic railgun speeds, never to return, due to a math error? like objectively this is horrible. but it is also. very funny.
