If my public middle school could do that in some back room closet it can’t be that bad.

For reference in us costs and spend your public stipend is less than my city spends per person on homeless folks and half of minimum wage. I think we’re taking different scales of money.

These kinds of projects are open to the top 5-10% of earners in the us so 15million or so folks could fund this but only 1-2 actually do it.

The whole point of my comments were the price scales are out of touch of most people.

Not to detract from the achivement. But there's some respect to how the challenges were overcome by the large budget

A 22 year old in the top 5% of earns is a very lucky man
