I'm becoming more and more fearful that without a Space Elevator, humanity will never become a space-faring species.

I fear this, because I know Space Elevators are physically impossible.

Just wanted to mention since no one else said it.
Why does the guy holding the geoduck have no nails nor fingerprints?
It's just a pink ripple sausage hand.
Those are not fingerprints.

He doesn't fucking have fingernails though, and his fingers are just ripples.
He is made of play-doh, that's not normal.

Automatic disqualifications would be at the top of the list, if I'm not mistaken. Why go through the whole checklist just to get to the whole "Hey, do you know what the colour Green is?" question
