I thought that he was going to go Galt.

OMG!! "Video Unavailable"

Youtube took down Tucker Carlson? I'm going to look for it on an alternate site. Looks like that was a couple months ago....

I am about to retire and will soon be available.
I have important skills.
Let's get started!

With the number of satellites that exist now, the only way to hide is to hide in plain sight.

Thank you, freedomforall. Kapla (Klingon for "May you prosper!")

"Live Long and Prosper" to all your students and to their mentor(s).
It was fantastic to see the launch of a new era toward colonizing the Final Frontier.

I hope your new venture is a resounding success and the gummint doesn't get a breath of your production.

You are correct in that the guvmint would seek to destroy all you were building as they must control your obedience. I applaud your planning but 20 acres is not enough room to do all you plan. Which is why something the size of T is the best answer. I'm not saying it is the only place but you must have something of comparable size to incorporate everything you must have to survive.

Boca Raton is about two hours of south of me and 2.5 hours south of the Space Center. Boca Raton took a while longer to open than we did, for good reason.

There are lots of aerospace jobs here. Melbourne is an affordable place to live, retire, and golf. If you come down here, I'll make sure to get you a tour of the Space Center.

Elon Musk of SpaceX is slowly coming around toward Objectivist values. The delayed CA re-opening was an eye-opener for him.

We are looking to beta test both disinfection robots and miniaturized HVAC systems in hospitals in rooms only available to those working on HVAC.

The government would ferret you out. About a decade ago I started looking for a piece of land nearby in the foothills. I wanted to get up to 20 acres and build houses on it for us and several like-minded families. I could build solar thermal with thermal storage, PV. I'd include a school structure with some office space for us to educate our kids while one spouse could keep working in the city. But, surely the planners would question it as some odd development. And, the busy bodies would want to know about the new commune with the children in it. "Hey...is that solar thermal structure build without a permit?..." etc....

I was in Florida on business (and a little golf) a few months back - just before this pandemic hit here. I really liked it. I also love fishing and all those various pieces of water with fish in them - a fantasy from my childhood. I visited with my mom on that trip too, in Boca. She said I must see the Space Center. I really want to. I used to work in the aerospace business. Left it for more money and now, over 20 years later, I can afford to go back soon (haha!). Watching SpaceX launch on tv yesterday I had tears in my eyes...

I will check out your area someday, surely...

I get questions at work about UV in hospital mechanical systems. I'll pm you my email if you want to send me something.

The reason I ask is I remember John Galt took all of the productive persons capitalists out of socialist society and left it to rot. As he said "I will stop the motor of the world." My thoughts are what would it take to "stop the motor of the world" if America were to become socialized? I know Atlantis has a cloak device and unlimited energy through Galt's engineering genius. I know we have the ability to create power through Nicolai Tesla's discoveries, but what of defences, and only allowing in those who would swear the oath to live for no one else and to ask no other to live for them? Any thoughts on how Atlantis can be concealed or defended?

Except we will connect them. I've been thinking about all the little islands between western SA and Eastern Africa...between the plates and rarely has bad weather.

Let's copy the ChiComs. They seem to be doing pretty good with islands in the South China Sea.

Were some of your students part of that? Kudos, my friend. I was watching hay being mown, sitting on my back porch. MY hay. Twenty some acres of it. But I sure would have liked to see that liftoff.

We need to 3D print a continent where no man has gone before.

PS...IN THE MEME TYME has been posted.

On days like today when I get to celebrate the products that the rocket engineers that I trained go up into space, I am grateful that I live in paradise on the Space Coast.

Good of you to remember me, jb. Every time I think of coming to FL for a visit, I think of making time to meet you. Tikina is still available and I still have all my notes.

JohnRobert2 and I had quite a lengthy discussion about building Atlantis at Tikina-i-ra and several other possible locations several years ago here on Galt's Gulch Online. There really are no good options.

Melbourne, FL looks better compared to everywhere else every day I live here. Our zoo re-opened, as did the Kennedy Space Center. C'mon down to jbrenner's Gulch.

By the way, I have just started a new company named Chem-Free Solutions that is making UV LED disinfection solutions (primarily for cleaning floors and HVAC systems).

Tucker Carlson sounds like he is about to go Galt. About eight minutes into tonight's show, he said, "The game is rigged. Why are we still playing?"

Very interesting. I'm somewhat familiar with the engineering challenges to be faced there: rain cisterns, septic, foundations, wind loads, etc. Years ago I was contacted by somebody via this forum about setting up a small community in New Zealand. I think that fizzled out.

I think my own personal Gulch will be in Nevada or northern Arizona...

Tikina-i-ra

Expensive? Yes. Lots of room? Yes. Remote? Yes. Do I have plans? Yes.

Very likely.

If it had advantages over staying put, yes. It's a difficult task.
