To illustrate its capabilities, it could find a solution to 8-queens problem in 5 hours, but the program size was only 54 bytes.

I had one as a kid. Incredibly capable machine with just a hundred bytes of RAM. You could play real-time games on it, using GRAD-DEG-RAD switch as hardware joystick!

"Wooden ships and iron men". What an adventure! Great that there is another age of exploration coming up - the interplanetary one.

Pure silver (99.99%) can be restored to pristine color by heating to 500C until silver sulfide decomposes. Doesn't work with sterling silver, as copper sulfides oxidize to stable copper oxide (which is black as well).

I played Universal Paperclips until the end, and the game gets more interesting at later stages. Also, this is one of the rarer occasions when playing it once is enough.

Yes and no. Material science is a limitation for propulsion mostly, but you can let big guys handle that (NASA, SpaceX, etc). There are plenty of niches that require massive amount of hardware and software engineering, but all the tech is a

"Revenue will shrink from $77.7B to ~$74B and gross margins will fall all the way to 51% to 53% for the next few years" A far cry from betting the farm, really.

Yes, and there have been (unofficial) proposals. With SLS or Starship as launch vehicle a fast intercept mission is feasible within 10 years and no corners cut on mission design.

For what's it worth, at 19 I forecasted myself to found a space startup by 36. The dream came true, but a lot happened in between those dates.

I had MK-61 one (like MK52, but without the ROM bank) as a kid and used it to learn programming. You can do amazing things with just 105 bytes of RAM, like playing real-time games using DEG-GRAD-RAD switch as a joystick, for example.
