On-board hospital? What the fuck?

I feel like hospital is the wrong word given that it only has one nurse as staff. IMO it makes sense, Gabe's in his 60s and as a professional computer toucher he probably has all kinds of health problems now. Wouldn't want to risk a heart attack 1000 miles from the nearest healthcare.

He's also still taking Covid seriously, last I heard. Plus, involved with some org working on an aerosol pathogen detection system.

Newell goes on to give some examples of what's currently taking up his time. "In one of the companies we're working on an aerosol pathogen detection device so you can see all the pathogens that are in the air. Brain-computer interfaces are incredibly cool and all of the associated neuroscience is incredibly cool."

I feel like that was less shocking than "submarine garage", honestly.
