  • they can always sell some of the steel to pay off the debt, seems a little backwards... aliens in congruent galaxies are laughing at the misappropriation of valuable planetary resources, balancing ascending empires are more impressive

  • it is not 200 stories asshole it is 160 and something

  • looks like someone has Super EGO..!

  • Pretty impressive.
