They made it.
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

It's tiny. The thing is a insect. Just appears big because the means to escape the gravity well in any significant way is beyond the current technological civilization.macdoc wrote:Good video here. Incredibly complex
