You need to read it again...the world class expert 'learned' how to grow plants in the thin atmosphere by chanting over them (the chanting over them was just the hippy version of 'reverse the polarity of the tachyon beams' style bullshit).
Also the entire colony, including the 'world class expert in closed biosystems' was recruited from the parking lot of a dead show, 5 hours after the show ended...because reason. IIRC part of reason was: 'Deadheads are actually the smartest people, all the smartest people are hippies.' That's pretty much where it exceeded my ability to suspend disbelief.
It was a silly book written to play to the world view and egos of silly people. I won't send another penny the authors way on any more of the series.
Don't start hair transplants, then lose your income.
I interviewed a dude. Head looked like he had an Island of hair clumps in a lagoon of bald.
He apparently started the hair transplant thing, then must have given them up as too expensive. He should have shaved his head, cause what he had was just ridiculous.
I almost wanted to hire him, but no, he was just obviously useless.
In Red Mars, you could grow plants in near vacuum by chanting over them and resource expropriation somehow leads to unlimited additional resources being provided.
You already touched on Red Mar's idiocy regarding government structure.
In recent cases, they haven't even let them finish. They got charged with 'conspiracy to commit terrorism' or some such (not a lawyer). You can do your own search.
I'm not even looking for outrage. It's common knowledge in the RC/amatuer rocketry community that you can become a felon with one stupid decision, they're watching the kids. Lots of 'drone people' seem to lack this knowledge.
Hold my beer and watch this. Ha ha funny...what...ATF is here?
But the first thing most 'richers' do is marry a model. Dumb on so many levels. She gets half, the kids are half moron etc etc.
Have you ever known any 3rd or later generation richers? I have, dumbest people on earth, helpless.
The less dumb put their money in professional management, but their kids will be dumber still. Sooner or later one goes 'active investor' or 'entrepreneur'. Then it's all over. All you can say is 'nice job redistributing the wealth'.
Put two servos and some control surfaces in/on an Estes rocket, no warhead, only keeps it pointed straight up...ten years federal time for building a guided missile. Same charge as an unlicensed machine gun.
Put a tiny explosive on any RC plane, same charge. Possession, 10 years.
I think you have limited experience with electric motors, especially lite powerful ones. More than likely, a lot of theory.
4 is the minimum number for a multicopter to work. This design has no redundancy (so failure rate x 4). Why is that? It's a 'press release' about vapor they didn't bother to think through, at all. Uber really are a bunch of weasels in shiny suits.
Driving: Trans Am, Turbo AWD Eclipse, Mustangs, Civics. All tuned, at least a little.
In CA you see them pull in behind you, run your tags, see that you are insured, then leave you alone. About 10% of cars on CA roads are driven by illegals and are uninsured.
If your reworking an old car, you are taking apart the suspension. The Rubber bushings at the pivots are toast at about 10 years. Which is why old cars steering is sloppy.
It's a bitch of a job, pay someone. You'll need a hydraulic press to remove the old bushings. Don't skip this step. Consider just buying new/remaned arms if you're putting stock rubber bushings in, much less work. Polyurethane is a good upgrade.
Also search the web, Chinesium tubular steel arms with polyurethane bushings can be had (for popular models) for less then the price of energy suspension bushings.
Think at least twice before buying any expensive car for cheap. They _won't_ be cheap to keep. Too much to break, like you say. load leveling suspension sucks balls.
Old Mercedes are _very_ cheap to buy (you overpaid), because the parts are so insanely expensive and everybody knows it. I somewhat regularly consider then dismiss an old SL convertible.
Also old leather _sucks_. What is it with new car people? Spend a fortune on a car, then don't bother with $5 worth of Mink Oil/year to maintain the leather. There is 1000 year old leather in the British museum that's still pliable, yet car seats are almost all ruined at 10 years.

Both Matsushita. Not worth fixing, even if any real to real was.
The MTD mowers of consumer electronics.
You'll never reproduce the 'warmth' of rotating ferro-oxide covered platters.
Not hard drives, Hammond Organs, with spinning leslie speakers.

When you're wrong, you should just admit it.
This just makes you look 12.
Moore's law says no such thing.
We don't even have theories for where to start on real AI.
Just a ball of filament and real time CGI.
The computers are a long sunk cost (to hide the reptilians) touching up the hair is easy.
Making money takes brains.

You lost me at 'Fiat'. Why would anybody not living in Italy even consider them?
What's your next suggestion? Peugeot? Lada? Yugo?
Decades, no tickets, no accidents.

The most fuel efficient cars were the late 90s lean burns. But EPA made them illegal.
You can burn a lot of fuel for the price of a $400 car payment and $200 full coverage insurance.
Rust is not an issue where I live, I grew up driving and hating old rusty cars. To my eyes, any rust free car is a good one.
No different from a new car.
If you want a good one, you have to do the work. There are no trustworthy sources in this field, CR is a bad joke.
Your wrong about the oil and engine life. Ask any professional mechanic, it's been long enough there is no denying it.
Not riding it, pushing it, so no bonus.
No, helicopters can auto rotate and land in an engine failure.
This is a a quad, no redundancy. One engine or blade failure and kiss your ass goodbye. It will _never_ pass FAA review.
This is all an attempt at a 'chump bounce', so Uber insiders can abandon ship.
