    I like the way you think. I think the sun is closer though. Probably easier to get too. I don’t know I don’t work on space travel.

      Its actually easier to launch stuff out of the solar system than to slow stuff down enough to fall into the sun

        I keep hearing that. Again - I don’t work on space physics, so forgive my ignorance on why. However- I’m good with billionaires taking as long as needed to get to our sun, some other maybe hospitable planet, or just dying in the cold of interstellar space while we observe a new holiday of them all fuckin’ off from terra firma.

            technically, it uses a lot of energy (depending on how much the blade weighs). it is not electrical energy, but gravitational potential energy

              If we made guillotines now we would certainly use electric winches to lift the blades

        Easiest is to just round them up and shoot them and let their corpses rot in a ditch.
