    As you know, I did this to celebrate a correlation of 70th anniversaries. However, using SV daily only improves my appreciation for its quality. Even though I feel like I’m approaching Avogadro’s number of soaps, and should use them all, I’m seriously considering just staying with 70th until it is done.

      That’s my “problem” too, so many nice soaps, and all of them take forever to use up :D

      I’m seriously considering just staying with 70th until it is done.

      That’s 75% of u/EldrormR’s Big Brain Bowl Bonanza. You’ll need that [REDACTED] brush to speed things up ;)

      (useless side musing: Avogadro’s number of soaps would weigh in at about 60 Yg, while Earth’s total biomass comes to 3 Eg. It’s time to get that space exploration going, I want space tallow)

        I may have exaggerated a little bit.

        I love that thing. Can’t wait to learn the details.

          maybe. I still want space tallow, though :)

            You know, much of my engineering career was spent working on big budget, one-of-a-kind spacecraft programs. Amazingly, space tallow never came up :) If we’re talking 60 Yg, orbital mechanics will be interesting.

              I did not know that about your career! You’re only the third NASA (or NASA-adjacent?) person I’ve met.

              orbital mechanics will be interesting.

              Yup, and we better figure out a space elevator before landing that tallow

                I have worked on some NASA programs, but most of my work was oriented towards national security.

                  Now I think of you as Gene Hackman doing this 😆
