Pay for it to be sent on a rocket
Railgun

Get money to go to mars but use it to go to the Moon instead.
Make rockets cheaper, then buy a ticket.
Use powerful sound wave.
I like 22 and 24, but the 42 is genius! Did you intend to put the best under the 42?
Not in particular; I’m actually most fond of 43 ;). Also, #12 is based on a real incident, and it’s probably how I’d actually do it:

Good to see you hear Nuno, I know I can always count on you for joining experimental rationality projects! :)
