@ricci This is a pretty cool way to think about things. Really interesting thank you.

I appreciate the option for not scaling things. Knowing mastodon.social is equivalent to the entire population of Preston is fascinating.

@elizabethtasker ok, but can we make sand castles on other worlds more often please? The universe always needs more whimsy.

Yes yes, the sand won't be wet enough to hold together... blah ... maybe it'll be scientifically interesting how it falls and collapses as the bucket is lifted. Lets call it a construction experiment... with crenelations.

@sundogplanets 30x more satellites than objects that we are currently tracking in orbit? (Including debris from stuff that blew or was blown up)

One company?

Well that's fucking ridiculous.
