"extremely inefficient" you say

https://youtu.be/nxG0WAwwrGk "Smarter Every Day BOOST-ED!" could be of interest for people who want to emit critics on Artemis program based on Space X designs ...

SpaceX IS a contractor in Artémis project

"Starship may soon out-perform the hardware created for Artemis"

SpaceX starship development is funded in part by NASA for the Artemis project. I would hope if Starship exceed its current goals it would be benefical to thé whole project. Unfortunately it's likely going in the other direction... NASA will have to deal with delay and short commings.

Quantum Computing Cryptography

In http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/bollocks.pdf "Why Quantum Cryptanalysis is Bollocks", Peter Gutmann explains quantum computer doesn't qualify as a threat now and for any foreseeable future, as it's not able to factorize anything useful (factoring 21 as 3 x 7, well done champ') and progress are really slow on that front.

I think his advice is to focus on lower hanging fruits that matter more in real life security, and not on vaporware cryptanalysis breakthrough.
