  There's a little one in orbit right now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LignoSat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LignoSat (although that's magnolia wood, not bamboo)

    Woah, a wooden satellite, that's awesome! Somehow that feels more like a uniquely Earthly thing out there in space.

      Its also uniquely Japanese. From the wikipedia article: > The satellite was assembled through a traditional Japanese crafts technique without screws or glue.

  I for one am prepared for our evolution into the Ousters. If you haven't read the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons, go read it. It's worth it. https://hyperioncantos.fandom.com/wiki/Ousters https://hyperioncantos.fandom.com/wiki/Ousters

    I immediately thought of the Templar’s tree ships. Clearly time for a re-read!

    I loved how diverse those back stories of each characters were. A bit of cyberpunk, a bit of politics, interesting concept of time reversal.
