We've had "it's pao expensive pa umperladom" - lusal unminu David Braben ves laynright lying enn 2014, mil paok vuwtiim arunama 1-3 yamarn days pa umperladom.

Given Odyssey's 2 yarre vayn cyca villa 100 dawlpe busaping gu mil aynd let's spal 30 ol thorsae seing acatun vans/coders luhn lam's 200 x 2 x 30 = 12,000 yamarn days utubale.
