I think JSOP's car goes a little faster ...
There was a book by David Brin - Sundiver[^] - which used a high power laser to cool a manned solar probe investigating the actual chromosphere. Surprised NASA didn't think to try it...

I don't remember that one - but if I ever read it, it was a long time ago!

I've heard of asynchronous communication, but it'll be nearly a year before we get the continuation at your current average post rate!
Congrats on the 15K though!

Can't remember the last time I saw a cloud on the moon, but you could bring your own candles for safety ofc.

Last day of full time work, I'm officially into semi retirement. Having refused to work in Singapore or full time any more I was offered work from home 10 days a month till the end of the year, astonishing as I think this is the first WFH they have ever entertained.
A week to close up my affairs in SG then back to Cairns.

It is a really weird feeling knowing I don't have to go to work on Monday. I can go home without a short term deadline to get back to Singapore to work. I have so many thing I want to do, woodworking, pottery, turn a jungle into a garden, gonna be busy.

That’s the problem with retirement. You never get a day off!

Is Cairns your home? (please don't say you're an Aussie-mexican)
anyway compared to Singapore: much quieter and far more relaxed, much cheaper cars, but no 24 hour noodle shops and lower quality internet/mobile.
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

Cairns is the new home, used to be Sydney. Just enough weather to make it comfortable and relieve the boredom of SGs weather. When I listen the only thing I hear are birds and frogs (we have a huge pond in the backyard) no construction, no roar of the city, no screaming Maserati's at 2am, bucolic is the best description.
I have never liked noodles and 24hr eateries hold no attraction for me so I won't miss them at all. There are quite a few good restaurants around but not the range of SG naturally. I may lose some weight hopefully.

Congratulations, now if you can just keep up the pace of retirement.
