I would prefer my Amazon package be delivered by rocket sherpa from now on. How do I speak to Jeff Bezos about this quadrillion dollar idea immediately?
And it will only save us more money if we launch the sherpas from the top of mountains!

She said, What is history?
And he said, History is an angel Being blown
Backwards
Into the future

He said: History is a pile of debris
And the angel wants to go back and fix things
To repair the things that have been broken
But there is a storm blowing from Paradise

And the storm keeps blowing the angel
Backwards
Into the future

And this storm, this storm Is called
Progress

- Laurie Anderson, The dream before

Have we tried nuclear? The Plumbub manhole cover had enough Speed to leave Earths orbit.

Before anyone feels the need to mention it, yes they did consider using small nuclear explosions to put things in space.

Also, It's easier (and cheaper) to grow Sherpas than mountains.

As they say, the hardest with perpetual motion machines is hiding the sherpa

The difficulty with building a perpetual motion machine is figuring out where to hide the rocket powered Sherpa.

Man, if I had a dollar for every time that came up when I was building one.

Listen, I don't know what you are saying....but what ever sherpa number you have in your head ...double it.

My goal is that by 2035 humanities workforce will be 50% AI, 50% sherpa.
