President Merkin Muffley: You mean people could actually stay down there for a hundred years?
Dr. Strangelove: It would not be difficult, Mein Führer!
Nuclear reactors could - heh, I'm sorry, Mr. President - nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely. Greenhouses could maintain plant life.
Animals could raised and *slaughtered*. A quick survey would have to be made of all the available mine sites in the country. But, I would guess, that a dwelling space for several 100,000 of our people could easily be provided.
President Merkin Muffley: Well, I would hate to have to decide who stays up and who goes down.
Dr. Strangelove: Well, that would not be necessary, Mr. President. It could easily be accomplished with a computer. And a computer could be set and programmed to accept factors of youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence and a cross-section of necessary skills. Of course, it would be vital that top government and military men be included to foster and impart the required principles of leadership and tradition. Heil! Actually, they would breed prodigiously, yeah? There would be much time and little to do. With a proper breeding techniques and a ratio of, say, ten females to each male, I would guess that they could interact their way back to the present gross national product within, say, 20 years.

My boy Chewbacca walked on several days ago. This hits a little oddly on a personal level. At my age, I’d have made the trade for a few more years with him.

If he’d been standard, I doubt we’d ever have met. I assume he was put out for adoption by some disappointed breeder. He had some _very_ distinctive mutations. Including his face. Bailey on the left, standard look on the right.

Cryonic pod keeping Commander Powell in a state of suspended animation, frozen in a block of ice in the ship's hold. 

View is over the shoulder of an observer looking down into an icy block in which a man’s head and shoulders can be seen.

We’re coming pretty close to achieving the vertex of perfect metaphor with the SS United States being stripped, gutted and prepared for scuttling. Once Federal approval comes through. www.al.com/news/2026/04...
An aerial color photograph of the ocean liner SS United States underway on calm blue water in its heyday, with a black hull, red waterline, white superstructure, and two large red, white, and blue funnels. The name “UNITED STATES” is painted on the bow, and a distant coastline lies on the horizon.Wide daytime shot of the rusting SS United States berthed at a shipyard, viewed across railroad tracks and a chain-link fence. The ship’s funnels are gone, its white superstructure is streaked with rust, and the faded name “UNITED STATES” is still visible on the bow. Yellow steel blocks, scrap metal, and industrial tanks sit along the dock under a clear blue sky.A torn scrap of white paper weighed down by chunks of broken asphalt on a gravel and concrete ground, surrounded by small weeds and twigs. Handwritten in black marker, the note reads: “Rest easy old girl! SS United States, Undefeated Champion.”

My late dog Bailey was a Kooikerhondje, with a majestic banner of a tail. That tail was bred into these wondrous dogs to serve as a duck decoy for Dutch farmers, luring the birds to capture, the dog swimming around until the ducks followed directly into net tunnels. Which I so wanna watch someday

Oh, come on. That’s just… ::taps earpiece, eyes widen::
The historic ocean liner SS United States is docked in Mobile, Alabama , where its environmental cleanup is complete, and it is waiting for final federal permits to be sunk as the world's largest artificial reef off the coast of Florida.

Current Status and Reef Plans
• Cleanup Finished: Workers have completely cleaned the ship, removing all hazardous materials, wiring, and fluid tanks to meet strict environmental rules.

• Waiting on Permits: Okaloosa County, Florida, purchased the ship and is updating an older permit to sink it at a deeper site. They are waiting for final sign-offs from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the EPA.

• Future Location: The plan is to place the ship about 22 miles southwest of Destin and 32 miles southeast of Pensacola in roughly 180 feet of water.

To your question (which my brain glossed over). At 180 days, all restrictions are lifted:
• Initial Tranche: Can be sold two trading days following SpaceX's first quarterly earnings report (expected in early August).
• Incremental Unlocks: Further slices of 7% unlock on calendar days 70, 90, 105, 120, and 135 post-listing (occurring in August, September, and October).
• Post-Q3 Tranche: An additional 28% unlocks immediately following the third-quarter earnings report.
