Zeus was known for a smidgin of cannibalism, too, you know.

Quibbling over safety and lack of guarantees of success, in a matter such as this, is insofar as my opinion, heresy. And before you say I'm too harsh, consider that your ancestors, in matters such as these, took far greater risk, for a far lower payout, with little but a feeling of grim determination.

They need to build a money throwing machine for that.

TBF, I want to see the lithobraking

Orion ship named Nostromo?

To be fair, the first named one ought to be Atlas, as a nod to the other stainless steel rocket.

We already know Elon is a man of taste,, they will be named from the Culture series
