No problem, I just need a rocket, 7.2 x 10^48 gallons of blue dye, and ten reliable men.
"We need ten painters to train as astronauts."
"Why not get ten astronauts, then train them to use paint?"
"How about you shut the fuck up instead?"
launches into tirade about all the specific details about painting that astronauts wouldn't know off the top of their heads
...
"Literally tell me what a Hohmann transfer is. I'll give you a full day, you can research, meditate, whatever you want. If after that you can describe it to me accurately then I'll concede that maybe we can train you to be an astronaut, you salt of the earth motherfucker."
Nobody tell them that dye makes almost no difference to cloud colour. I wanna see their reactions.
That's ok, I'll just take the rocket and the men, then.
Hey, if you're just looking for an excuse to voyage into space with ten reliable men, nobody's going to stop you.
