If a billion fits on one pallet,...how does a hundred billion fit on only ten pallets?

LOL,
100/1 = ?
Those were 463L logistics pallets—the kind we load on acft for moving stuff—and what the Army steals from the USAF to makes floors in tentsand roofs on all manner of things (ha ha)! They only cost about $5k each...
The 463L is 88”x96” and will hold 4x of the wooden “pallets” we often refer to. They can be stacked 2x high for 8x per pallet pretty easy depending on the cargo. Max load weight is 10k.
Your logistics trivia for the day...
Sending dollars would have been illegal. They skirted the law by sending Swiss Franks, and there is indeed a 1000 CHF. Hence less than 1/10th of us currency...Seems like fake news to me. The Obama admin was able to fit $100 billion nicely on 4 pallets delivered to the Iranians.
Here foward to be known as Affirmative Action Science Guy.Sorry for crapping on black science man... some think he is a scientist...
I actually also crap on Carl Sagan. He was a pretty good planetary scientist, but as soon as he became famous, he became a communist anti-nuke, anti-Reagan, Anti-American protester... and a founding beacon of the green movement. In other words... a worthless Communist.
I like Stephen Hawking better. He did a lot for the advancement of wheelchairs and did more for voice synthesis than anyone since Peter Frampton.
Neil Degrasse-Tyson is a complete fraud and, really, an idea-stealing peckerhead. I can't think of a single actual scientific achievement, breakthrough, contribution or advancement he was involved in, other than being an EEOC wonder at the NY planetarium or some other commie tourist attraction. At least Brian Greene was willing to put his reputation on the line for String-Religion. Neil just waited to be promoted as the only black science man in reach.
