[X] Nah. You could save that political capital for something else you want to pass, like the Civil Rights Movement.
I would rather focus on social issues than can vastly improve peoples lives and well being, and this is it. It will also lead into other social issues such as women and LGBT rights. Pushing for a "Space Race", as shown in our TL is a bad idea. You get both superpowers throwing more and more money at it, bringing forward deadlines increase risks, and at the end there is a lot of fatigue and spending that could have been better used elsewhere. You get caught up in the prestige of being first, instead of utilizing a more qualitative and efficient approach. We also shouldn't want to accelerate the Cold War, nor push it into space.
[X] Register and attend university to study ancient Egypt archeology and cats and stuff.
[X] Work on your powers with Charles, or rather to see how the Serum has affected you.
[X] Work with Howard on establishing Starkvalley, the Land of Tomorrow for all ages.
[X] Go to Warren Buffett and actually take time to learn the ins and outs, maybe invest further.
[X] Manage your finances
-[X] Invest all but $2 million in Warren and Stark Cybernetics/Starkvalley. Split it 50/50.
You guys are vastly underestimating the amount of money that we have, and the amount we need. On the first point, the majority investment decision currently is based of Van Ropen's quote of our money being $13 million, but that was before we finished the movie and got another $9 million. As it stands, you wish to invest at 4.5 mill, 4 mill, and leaving $14 million in the bank. It isn't a good idea, not least of which we haven't even had a decision to purchase
anything yet, much less purchase it immediately and it costing several million. You are planning for contingencies, that as of now, we have been given no clue are even needed. Money sitting in a bank is just inflating away, invest it instead and gain both more capital and influence.
