Thats what I was thinking, this is a big MFer for a theoretical build. but the scale of it will make any shortcomings more visible for the next iteration. I just hope everybody used the metric system
But in the end, if they can get it to produce more than consumed its amazing. Its amazing either way until it wont shut off and we become another sun in the solar system On Mon, Jul 12, 2021 at 12:25 PM Chuck McCown via AF <[email protected]> wrote: > They hope.
