This point leads down a very interesting bunnytrail. Circa 2003-06 when I was doing autonomous systems research, I came across a factoid: an F-16 needs a staff of ~30 to keep it in the air, one of whom happens to be in the air. A Global Hawk needed ~50 at the time.

One thing that’s endlessly fascinating to me: despite its place in the cultural imagination, it turns out that about the least autonomous thing ever is a spaceship. They require huge networks of infrastructure, maintenance, and care. twitter.com/julia_bergeron…
