I did the math on using balloons to lift rockets up out of the atmosphere before take-off and like, correct me if I'm wrong, but it would take like two hindednburgs to lift a Saturn V (okay I just looked it up and the hindrance was only 41 meters across so maybe like 4-6 of them actually). But no, like, it would take a sphere with a radius of like 80m to lift the entire Saturn V??? "oh yeah but try not to ignite it with a rocket launching next to it" I dont care, I think it's inevitable they're gonna go up, but would it be cheaper than launching from sea level?? Whimsical, sure, but wouldn't it actually be practical??

Hello Guys! We are working on building an exciting tabletop game themed around rockets. The game is a fun 1 to 5 player card game where you build rockets, bid for payload contracts, and race to launch two payloads first. We are planning to make it public this year, probably around August.

The game will have around a 2.25-ish complexity weight. If you like what you see and would like to playtest the game, simply comment "Payload" and we will connect.

And if you would simply like to be notified when the game launches, comment "Launch" and we will connect for that too.

a genuine question from the bottom of my heart; why cant we have wifi-less phones?

it makes zero sense that we can go to the flippin moon and thousands of meters underground but still have to rely on wifi to operate a phone?!

i think we've advanced as a civilisation that we should do away with wifi and all these modem/connection issues, surely there must be a way we can have wifi at all times no matter the location/connectivity strength etc
