Next-up: targeting Thursday, October 24 for a Falcon 9 launch of the @NatReconOfc’s NROL-167 mission from California
I think so too, but it’s more fun to reply in earnest.
They landed one once, didn’t they? But it fell off the droneship on the way home? Was that Arabsat or STP-2?
Yeah, the Lunar Gateway module requires the extended fairing. A few others likely will as well, though this has yet to be confirmed.
I hope Starship’s in-orbit refueling capability can make these types of missions slightly easier.
True. Wish we could have it all, though.
I feel that if you are browsing [email protected], spoilers for at least the original trilogy should be par for the course :)
A “functional” independent civilization on Mars is a long way (millennia) off, and not really relevant to the topic of the video. Cody is advocating for a ban on all human Mars missions, even short term research missions. I’m not sure that this is feasible, reasonable, or wise.

What kind of scaley books does your DM have?
I think they’re too early. Kinetic launchers will be great for yeeting raw materials from moons and asteroids, but launching delicate satellites through Earth’s thick atmosphere seems fraught with challenges.
“You think the teacup ride is underwhelming? Well, have we got the ride for you! Brace yourself for a 10,000 G ride of a lifetime!”
Is that an event that occured?
“Just because the Buddha statue, a man can lift, a god is holding it down, it means not!”
Motti’s ambitions, which grew in the wake of the battle station’s completion, were short-lived, however. The Rebel Alliance, who had obtained a copy of the Death Star plans during the Battle of Scarif, discovered a weak spot in the station’s thermal exhaust port and successfully exploited it, leading to the destruction of the battle station along with the deaths of everyone onboard, Motti included.
The molecular structure of the powder:
The notable thing seems to not be that it can absorb (and desorb) CO2, but that it can undergo hundreds of cycles with little degredation.
