Don't worry. They will used beamed microwave power delivery. The operator will just have to wear a 2.5kg lead apron to protect themselves. When used for food delivery, the power delivery beam will also act as an effective heat lamp.
- CommieBobDole 2y agoWith a powerful enough microwave beam, you could lift and propel the thing through surface ablation and wouldn't need the propellers at all.

- knodi123 2y agoGood god, I nearly did a spit take. That's the most irresponsible and horrifying tech idea I've ever heard. That's great, but we can do better- what about Project Orion but for local food delivery? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propuls...
