Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 28, 2022

If you give me a good tip, I won’t tell anybody about this top secret space station.

I use Door Dash, Grub Hub, Uber Eats, and Caviar, especially when I’m out of town. I also use Instacart for groceries.

So, how much do they pay Cliff to sit on his butt and do nothing? Is he also in charge of accounting for the station?

I’m impressed that Grub Hub has rockets. Do they deliver to ISS too?

Does Blue Origin know about this?

What? No milkshake.

No supply chain problems for Cliff.

Inflation has quite literally reached the stars

10% is standard.

Cliff knows a bargain when he sees one. “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”

The normal price is $50 million to send a hamburger to space.

Personally, I think that $50k is a real bargain for that delivery. IF we are using the usual retro-futuristic theme here that ignores developmental and fuel costs, then $50k is probably in the ball park. If you figure in true costs of Grub Hub to orbit on, say, a Falcon 9, then the cost, even as the bargain it is, would probably need several more zeros.

Working on the station must pay the big bucks…

Sometimes a cheeseburger calls out to be eaten. Cliff just had amazing hearing.

If it costs that much, it does include a tip.

It’s customary to tip 50% for deliveries outside the Van Allen belt.

Cliff’s biggest complaint is that the Station’s farm can’t raise Beef Cattle because Cows are too big.

And, they eat too much of the Farm’s plant life.
