The challenge
Like a challenge? here’s a few facts about our standard operating environment…
Collect 100 - 350 people, make sure they bring every electronic device they ever owned… their kid’s broken screen iphone, their 12yo laptop, a tablet with an os no one’s ever heard of… the works.
Put them in a pressurized faraday cage travelling between 0 - 550 mph somewhere between 0 and 50,000 aslPower the whole thing with some batteries and up to 6 turbines cranking out 50,000 rpm.
Now, connect them all to the internet with speeds approaching cableUse a los antenna bouncing signals off a satellite the size of a small van at an altitude of ~22,500miCease all transmissions within 100ms if mis-pointed more than 0.2deg while maintaining a solid tcp connectionSwitching from satellite to satellite better be done in less than a few seconds or netflix just won’t look right and watch out for that turbulence too!
Your simulation tools involve a frozen turkey canon, a few hundred bags of potatoes and a padded room with a mechanical arm like the back to the future rides at universal studios.
