$100 billion sounds a lot, but in comparison it's miniscule. For that amount of money you can either run an international space station for 24 years or the US military for 1.3 months, or the russian military for one year. If we'd just start killing eachother a little less, we could easily save that much money.

I'm planning to upgrade my Linux system with a new graphics card soon, and the only reason I'm actually still considering Nvidia is CUDA. It just seems so much easier, and so much more broadly supported by software. But maybe that's just because I've never tried it.

One lander for the astronauts, one for the film crew and a third one for the cameras, lights etc. You know you can't just walk into a RadioShack on the moon and ask for a camcorder, right? Because in because in space noone can hear you ask.

Is there anything else for me to do on the island? Is it big enough to go hiking, can you swim in the ocean, or is there just a desk and a chair and you have to play all day while not eating/sleeping? Because if that was the case, I'd choose some sports game, probably Nintendo's Ring Fit Adventure, but I don't know any alternatives. Sitting at the desk 16 hours a day would be quite uncomfortable after a while. Other than that my choices have already been named: Factorio (can I wait till October please, before you send me off to that island 🙏. I can't wait 5 more years for the expansion!) and KSP.
