Considering it's the basis of the entire hypothesis, here's the nature of the intervention:

All cases with two BLL tests exceeding the alert threshold (10 ug/dL) trigger eligibility for an intervention which includes the following actions: education for caregivers (which includes nutritional advice and information about reducing exposure in the home); a voluntary home environment investigation; and a referral to lead remediation services. A more intensive intervention can be triggered by tests over 15 ug/dL or 20 ug/dL. In addition to educating caregivers and providing a referral to remediation services, the intensive intervention typically includes: a mandatory home environment investigation; nutritional assessment; medical evaluation; developmental assessment; and a referral to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Rockets require cryogenic fuels, workers and large launch complexes. In contrast, Everest is a mere 9km and the first stage of a rocket will take it to something along the lines of 100km at 2000m/s. It is much easier just to throw more fuel in the first stage (or move to the equator) than try and relocate around the relatively smooth surface of Earth.

I ran into it post 1.2. I can try the MemGraph mod though.

I stopped playing KSP due to the microstutter issue (ostensibly due the to garbage collector) fixing that would make the game playable again.

Obviously a terrible idea, but a mining/tunnel building company would be a reasonable outcome.
