How about we, I don't know, just focus on innovating to make Earth a better place for a bit first?

Sending 1,000 billionaires from Earth to die by plummeting to the surface of Venus when Cardboard Cloud City fails would certainly make the Earth a better place.

How about not innovating with people's lives at stake? What a bunch of insufferable douchebags.

Wow, Venus. At least these people know their vessel implosions.

Lol, I would take oceangate off my resume when making these goals public.
