    How about we, I don’t know, just focus on innovating to make Earth a better place for a bit first?

      Sending 1,000 billionaires from Earth to die by plummeting to the surface of Venus when Cardboard Cloud City fails would certainly make the Earth a better place.

      How about not innovating with people’s lives at stake? What a bunch of insufferable douchebags.
