Profitability Projections

Two choicesA) Carry on working long-haul missions on the outer reaches of space; 2) Come up with a profitable business, sell out to Alterra, live happily ever after.

I choose 2. Ideas

• A robot that builds other robots
• A water filtration system that has infinite power (solar power? body heat? do suns last forever? check this)
• A phasegate that can be built by self-repairing robots instead of poor lonely humans on an 18 month mission (what happens when something goes wrong?)
• A VR program that precisely simulates real life down to the finest detail (how do I know I didn't already invent it and I'm inside it right now?)
• A gun that shoots other, smaller guns (can't see any real objections to this one)
