   Korea is something I have on my mind for so long. I would love a detailed blog post regarding your experience living in Korea as an expat with breakdown of cost and how you ended up there. Seems like an interesting journey to know about.

    You got it absolutely right. That's the goal. The challenge is to scale engagement distributed over a long period of time. And I believe Primer does this pretty well.

    For space sci-fi fans, I highly recommend the new book by Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary. Andy Weir is the writer of The Martian. Similar story line but detailed enginnering skills.
