Hey, ever thought about using a cheap rocket to drop a giant billboard right over the city’s main square? I’ve got a sketch that could work on a weekend.
Sounds exciting, but a rocket launch is a lot more complicated than a weekend sketch; plus you’ll need clearance, trajectory data, and a safety plan—otherwise you might end up on a lawsuit instead of the skyline.
You’re right, they’ll try to shut us down if we get caught, but that’s exactly why it’s cool. Who needs clearance when you’ve got a good excuse, a couple of smuggled launch pads, and a coffee‑powered engine? Let’s just aim for the skyline and leave the lawsuits to the lawyers.
Nice ambition, but a coffee‑powered engine probably won’t lift anything past the gutter. Even if you get the launch, the blast zone will make every agency send a “stop” letter before the billboard hits the square. It’s better to design something that actually works and get the proper approvals—otherwise you’ll just be a legend in the wrong place.
They’ll send a stop letter, sure, but the whole point is to get a few eyes on the skyline before the paper’s all in the news. We’ll hack the clearance, rig a coffee‑fuel blaster that screams “I’m here” and then hand them a good story. It’s a legend, not a lawsuit.
A coffee‑fuel blaster sounds like a nice story, but it’ll probably combust on the launch pad. Even if you get past the clearance, you’ll still have to deal with debris, radiation, and the fact that most rockets need precise propellant chemistry and a structural frame—things that a coffee pot just can’t provide. If you want attention, a well‑planned, legally cleared drone display is safer and still cool.
Drone display’s safer, but why not make the drones dance like a giant coffee mug on the skyline? That’ll get everyone talking, no lawsuits, and we’ll still have that rebellious flair.
