I bet you're talking about his name because you have nothing to contribute to the topic at hand which is solar gravitational lens based telescopes.
Which is understandable as it is a very esoteric topic. But if you don't feel comfortable talking about a subject that doesn't mean that you should change the subject to one that you do feel comfortable with.
People come to Hacker News to see experts talk about these esoteric ideas and you ruin that when you derail the conversation into something relatable out of discomfort.

I've been following his solar gravitational lens project since the 'Direct Multipixel Imaging and Spectroscopy of an Exoplanet with a Solar Gravity Lens Mission' [0] paper came out. What you were betting? You farm, hopefully? [0] https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.11871 https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.11871
