I thought the definition of space was fairly well agreed on. Which means this task should be worth a bit more than 45 points -- it's only been done by two (or three*) non-governmental organizations, and once (or never*) by amateurs.

I guess you could pay someone to send it up for you, but where's the fun in that? :) (Also, I recommend caution before sending Interorbital any money: their track record on orbital launches could be politely described as nonexistant.)

* In chronological order: the amateur CSXT space shot was likely successful, but not independently confirmed, and there are significant uncertainties. This was followed by Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne, and then SpaceX's Falcon I and Falcon 9 launches.

Why stop at one? Combining all five might be tough, but four of them at once shouldn't be too hard for a 5-point task.

Wait, when did we start playing upside down bids as forcing?

Well, I don't know about your kitchen, but my oven is more suited to light saber practice drones than it is to Death Stars.

In a fit of originality, this is called Common Meter.

In modern times, it has been recognized as yet another way to reduce the space complexity of songs.

Mostly because you didn't have a two yet.

You have to collect them all before you can win, you know.

Well, I did provide a link the their fimo clay version in the praxis :)

I wasn't as impressed by their cookies; 3 iterations isn't all that fractaly to me.

News14 apparently just couldn't find it.

Mrs. Barrel Monster resides on the top of a business down the street. Not at the mall, alas. They're not that cool.

In the news.

Apparently it's been taken down, as of 4 PM (time on the story). Ah well.
