The earlier post about “it’s not our world since the rocket isn’t covered with Amazon ads” made me think how easy it would be do evil (or at least amoral) FF in a modern setting. Reed is Peter Thiel (or Musk if he was actually an engineer or at all clever) - a ruthless techbro who owns the government and wants to own Mars. Sue, leaning into her training as a biologist, is a wealthy GOOP-style anti-vax alternative-health influencer. Johnny is an Andrew Tate style online MRA firebrand. Ben is… well, he’s the hardest to do but I’d lean into ex-military Joe Rogan just-asking-questions podcaster. They all go up in Reed’s rocket - which is of course insufficiently tested, they’re lucky to not just blow up on the pad - and come back changed, which only enhances their fame and influence.</blockquote>
