    I disagree. We should orbit him.

      Well yeah, that way you can deorbit him

      Reaching escape velocity is expensive. We can be more efficient and still achieve the same result using a minuscule fraction of the propellant and none of the rocket framing.

        A trebuchet will achieve the same result and require none of the rocket framing.

          FALSE!

          The blade is pulled up by human work, muscles are fueled by food.

        Efficiency. That’s his thing. Let’s make sure it’s efficient.

        I mean we’re already sending rockets up there. I’m sure we can afford to dump him out on the way.

          MelodiousFunk does have a point. Shooting him is cheaper.

            Yeah, but that’s not ironic enough for me.

              Trebuchet? Cheap? ✅. Easily assembled and transported? ✅. Low tech not needed any rare earth materials? ✅. Sufficient to launch him at least 150 m? ✅. Low survivability rate for potential additional yeeting? ✅.

                Hmm, I think we shouldn’t rule out other simple machines with wooden frames and French names just yet.

              Just hogtie him and leave him on the lauch pad. We get rid of a problem, and the problem is turned into mostly it’s component atoms. Give giving the circle of life a little help!

              To be clear, I am not advocating for shooting Musk. I am saying we can ignite a fraction of the rocket fuel without any of the containment vessels or expensive infrastructure. While there will be no liftoff, it would certainly be uplifting.
