back then it were large ships. Today the issue is building large Starships. How many would we need to move several millions people and various equipment to Mars. May be not ice - though ice should work if building in space (or on the Moon).

As Anthropic with all its revenue still needs a large outside capital, it suggests that those AI costs those CFOs pay probably don't cover the actual Anthropic's costs.

Interesting design to revisit in the context of electric self-driving trucks. The cameras/radars/lidars can be attached high around the trailer, no need for the driver cabin. And the batteries are naturally placed low.
