$2000 apiece for cardboard?!

I presume that includes the engine, sensors, etc.

its Military-grade cardboard

It works even down to -60°C.

> When we want violet, we know just what to do. Just mix our good friends purple and blue.

I still refuse to believe that purple and violet are different colors.


I agreed with you, and then went to the Wikipedia pages for both. I might have changed my mind now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_(color)


I think using violet as a name for the entire color-range around (~128, 0, 255) is also common. So in a sense purple is an element of the violet color-range. But as points they are distinct. I think purple is more specific - as a color-range it'd cover less area.


Purple has a lot more red. (157, 0, 255) vs. (128, 0, 255). Good to have learned something today...


I think of purple as encompassing both indigo (blueish purple) and violet (pinkish purple).

If the only constraints are material and weight, it should be possible to create a design that performs even better for this purpose. But at some point it stops looking like a baseball bat.

> Sure, it might cure cancer, but… that’s just uncertain. Sure, we’ll go to space, but… we sure have many problems at home.

We're not going to space. We're filling our own orbit with ever-increasing quantities of space junk and speeding toward a tipping point where space launch will no longer be possible due to near-certainty of collision. Mister "Let's all go to Mars" Elon Musk is the single greatest contributor to this problem.


Well done, but kind of annoying that winning and losing the game both lead to the same clip.
