As Hexbear's resident rocket nerd/engineer I am prepared to take up the mantle on this worthy endeavor.

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

If you can design the spaceships, I'm good at X4 and know where to put them. The asteroid belt.

yeah man i flew a cardboard rocket to like 1700ft i got u

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

That's pretty high. With our collective experience I think we could get a lot higher.

[-] ThePokeYen@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

yeah sure. totally. just send me like a few tens of those millions and ill see what i can do k thx

It wouldn't be ethical for me to take your money and then give you funds from the Starfleet budget. Instead we'll let you pilot a mining ship and you can harvest all the precious metals you want from asteroids. One asteroid and you're paid back with trillions of dollars of interest.

And how do you plan to get that mining ship up there?? Ive got u and Hexfleet by the throat now if i dont see the money flowing in by tomorrow morning you will have NOTHING

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

I thought that would be common sense. Design a rocket that lowers the cost per kilo into orbit to $10. Then build self-assembling orbital factories to design a basic asteroid harvesting platform. Use the revenue and resources from that to build a mining fleet. Snowball that into full orbital shipyards that can produce thousands of mining ships per day. Then everyone gets paid back.

you need my hexpertise to accomplish step number 1. no rocket, no factories, no hexfleet. all you have to do is send me 1 billion usd

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I know how to do step 1. Make it cheaper. It's the mining fleet I need help with. I can draw the shapes but need someone to translate those into engineering schematics.

You should write a get rich quick self-help book sometime. Actually, that could help with funding this endeavor.
