->'''Mike:''' The advantage of caseless ammo is that you can fit more rounds into a magazine now because you don't have to put the, the shell casing in there.\\
'''Zach:''' And grunts love it because they don't have to do brass cleanup.\\
'''Mike:''' The ''disadvantage'' of caseless ammo is we're still... not... quite at the point where it works.

->''"So, let's sum up, then: instant torque, savage power, mesmerising speed, Mercedes quality, ''no'' noise, and a petrol bill of exactly... naught. It sounds, then, like the stuff of dreams, but there are drawbacks. Range, for example. If you wanted to drive this car from UsefulNotes/{{London}} to [[UsefulNotes/FootballPopMusicAndFlatCaps Manchester]], you'd have to stop in [[UsefulNotes/TheMidlands Stoke-on-Trent]] and spend twenty hours charging it up. Mercedes themselves say that at full chat it wouldn't be able to do ''two laps'' of the Nürburgring... and they may have a point; I've only been out here for seven minutes on this run, and I've used 44% of the juice. And there's more. The electric SLS is £‎360,000. And for that, you could have an SLS Black and twenty thousand gallons of petrol, which is enough to take it from here... to the ''moon.'' As a result, you'd have to be soft in the head to buy the yellow car instead of the V8."''

->''There's a lot of technology in search of a customer. You know, in other words a lot of companies do things because it's technically possible. But in the end, nobody cares. Nobody wants to buy them. And so we see a lot of that technology in search of a customer, and I think the hard thing is to figure out what can be done, but also what people really want to do.''

->I'll believe in people settling Mars at about the same time I see people setting the Gobi Desert. The Gobi Desert is about a thousand times as hospitable as Mars and five hundred times cheaper and easier to reach. Nobody ever writes "Gobi Desert Opera" because, well, it's just kind of plonkingly obvious that there's no good reason to go there and live. It's ugly, it's inhospitable and there's no way to make it pay. Mars is just the same, really. We just romanticize it because it's so hard to reach.

->8. With a ship this size you will need thousands of people in service to cover all stations, this means every single person in your crew list will need their own cabin. For being on sea for pretty much all the time you can't really give them a tiny shared cabin as this will be causing all kinds of red flags to pop up. These need to have all basic needs to say the least if not have luxuries of their own. On top of that you need to work in groups, every group needs [its] own HQ so they can do their jobs properly and effectively. This all combined you could easily loose [two] decks for crew and work areas alone to make your crew happy.
