The only legitimate thing I can think of is that if we ever colonize the moon or mars, we are going to need compute and storage at the location. If we can launch equipment into orbit instead of waiting until it’s needed then it’ll give a headstart to test different solutions. If we can also figure out how to do that without having to build it or maintain it on the moon/mars, then that might result in less risk. But it’s all conjecture and you don’t know what you don’t know unless you try.

That bric is lighter than the rest.

Context: IANAL, it’s been over a decade since my story, so details might be dated or incorrect. I don’t fully agree with the process.

I think this is normal. I knew a guy commit suicide and they still did this. To be clear, the young man passed away. I think it’s supposed to get help where it’s needed, raise accountability, and to make final determinations regarding benefits. It’s definitely a reactive policy, causes more harm than good, and oftentimes is too late.

I’m pretty sure none of the disciplinary charges will stick if it’s proved a genuine suicide attempt. It’s really difficult to prove otherwise, even without knowing the things we do that lead up to this.

I hope he gets the care and support he needs, it’s going to be rough.
