So when do I pay the $150,000, and whom do I pay it to? Or do I just get shot?

Also, Hobbiton is 37km's that way from my house [[points]] but of course when I went to visit they hadn't started on the Hobbit yet.
We got a discount and a tour of the farm with the owner. Best quote: "You wouldn't pay NZ$60 to go and see some bloke's paddock"

...and what is the computational impact of using Mythics vs Rares?
My thoughts in order:
- Have I got the cards to do this?
- What cards could I substitute to achieve the same thing?
- Could I optimize or simplify this and reduce the number of required cards?
- Do *really* I want to sit down and figure this out?
- Could I simulate this in one of the many (open source) mtg cardgame engines?
No.
Some of the asteroids are valued at several billions of dollars each. They contain resources that our industries need. The trick is; how can I economically reach that concentrated valuable stuff floating in space AND get it back to earth? (The answer involves robots...)
Contrast with itty bitty teensie weensie little bits of worthless plastic floating in non-concentrated form in big big ocean...which you want to use to make rather ugly plastic chairs...
No doubt there is. You have no control over quality, and you'll probably end up scooping up huge amounts of other crap as well...
As you float in the middle of the ocean, miles from anywhere, what are you going to do with the non-plastic bits? Tip them overboard?
There is an online documentary on the 'floating garbage islands' somewhere. Not really islands. Just lots of little itty bits of plastic spread over a huuuuge area.
Since the plastic debris is spread thinly over a large large area, you'd need to blow through a fair bit of fuel to collect sufficient amounts of plastic to make a chair.
Doable? yes.
Economical? No.
Unless you could do this with a sailing boat, or a solar powered boat...and from the article...that boat doesn't look like either.
Yeah...but but...mine would all look exactly the same
One way to make your old car run better is to look up the price of a new model.
