IDEA: slime moulds as food!
Also for supercomputers.

Slime mold computers will need work before they can be used for more than planning roads or something.

There are lots of places to buy surplus military equipment online.
Military-grade forklift trucks for 7k :)
In USA, Assualt weapons are legal. So we could probably but what we need here in the states.

So I found this thing.
At least we have some price ranges now.
Even the 1945 combat vehicles are over 10,000 dollars. MINIMIUM. Most are alot more.

Military?  Just buy some cheap crop dusters, attach missiles, and install a device to fly them remotely.  Not much risk to our lives, and alot of kills.
Still a expenisve way to use our money.
AFAIK in the Congo an AK-47 costs about as much as a chicken - $2.
I said this exact point earlier.

IDEA: slime moulds as food!
Also for supercomputers.
Draw up some plans.

-Zanzetkuken, head of Custodibus Pacis (put that in the main post already)
But its not a awesome dwarven abbreviation D:

We really can't do much wrong in DRC, its basically a shithole anyway.
Yes, but "at least we aren't the other guy" is not generally a good way to win over a populace. Plus we might have to deal with the African Union.

Hey, we didn't actually put a test tube baby poll.
Pretty please, Waffle?

I doubt there's any need. It's already been debated thoroughly and is one of the most solid and practical ideas the program has had thus far.

As long as I can decide what kind of phenotypes to produce. :P

Nah. That'd be a bad idea. It'd probably result in entire batches of cat-folk.

Are you sure that it is a bad thing?  They are faster soldiers at the very least!

And now that I think about, the fur would be a bit of boon, because we wouldn't have to produce as much of a greenhouse effect on Mars in the long run. Sure, the difference would probably only be a few degrees, but still.

Speculation, idle speculation. Until my lab gets fired up, we won't know.

So it's settled. Jimbobobby will be our endangered species farm's resident filthy whore animal insemination specialist. Giving out handy-J's to large mammals for the glory of the Bay12 Space Program!
I can do this with my eyes closed but I have certain suspicions, will I be considered contaminated and quarantined if I "accidentally" get the semen on my skin? Also, it is required you manufacture a condom large enough to fit on the trunk of an elephant.
There are already condoms for this purpose.

Considering also there are few to zero women right now on this trip, your services wil be heavily in demand.

No cat people. No unneeded human genetic combinations until after we are prepared t deal with sanctions from UN.

...We'll be on Mars. The rest of Earth kind of lacks Heavy-Lift capabilities. I doubt they'll be able to do much to us.

However, they will have stuff we need, so no bad PR until we can nuke from orbit.

We can always keep the cat people hidden...

And I'd volunteer for the first experiments. This body I currently in habit is boring.

Sure. First experiments will likely be total and massive failures, but still.

Hey, as long as there's a chance of me getting fur and ears and a tail, I'm happy.
