@Shawn Carlson have my paw in space.for now. a tech demo. But i assume it will be possible to build a team? https://ifgict.org/cubesat-kit/ ~ 5k + 15k more for licencing and shenanigans so if we have 10 people, each with 2k --> 20k, we could have made it. or we can ask some TV station owners for sponsoring...

Limits on AI may be power generation.
We need to double our current generating power if we wall want electric vehicles, and double also if we want AI agents to serve our whims in 2030. AI may prove self-limiting then because we just can't generate the power required to feed the beast, or so says Sabine Hossenfelder.
