# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (May 14, 2016)

* A discussion about kinetic bombardment technology noted that while the Outer Space Treaty prohibits weapons of mass destruction in orbit, it specifically bans only nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons - making kinetic bombardment with inert tungsten rods technically legal despite some systems having yields comparable to small tactical nuclear bombs.

* A participant mentioned receiving their Alcor medical bracelet, prompting a discussion about the relatively low number of Alcor members (under 3,000) in the organization's 45-year history, which was described as "embarrassing to the movement."

* There was a brief mention of a proposed project involving George Church, a Harvard Medical School genetics professor, with suggestions that the group should conduct their own genome sequencing of Church rather than relying on secretive meetings.

* The conversation touched on cryonic preservation adoption rates, with one participant noting that the number of Alcor members is "surprisingly high" when considering how few people actually live according to their beliefs, especially regarding life extension technologies.

* A technical clarification was made that Alcor member numbers 2200-2400 appear to be duplicated in their numbering system, suggesting some administrative inconsistency in their member tracking.
