They landed one once, didn’t they? But it fell off the droneship on the way home? Was that Arabsat or STP-2?
Haha, well their plan here is to collect the solar power in space and then beam it down to Earth so it can be… uh, collected again.
Yeah, the Lunar Gateway module requires the extended fairing. A few others likely will as well, though this has yet to be confirmed.
Ah yes, the tried and true teakettle method. Need to get energy from coal? Build a coal-powered teakettle. Oil? Teakettle. Gas? Teakettle. Uranium? Big nuclear teakettle. Locomotive? Teakettle on wheels. If a technological problem can be solved with a teakettle, humans have probably done it.
Do you know of any good sources of UBI news?
meaning technology
Beaming technology?
I hope Starship’s in-orbit refueling capability can make these types of missions slightly easier.
True. Wish we could have it all, though.
Vulcan is proving to be a pretty resilient beast so far!
It also doesn’t help when you rapidly melt and dissolve every probe which lands on you.
I feel that if you are browsing !starwarsmemes@lemmy.world, 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.

Probably, but it’s looking increasingly unlikely that they will fit in all 6 flights.
As for Dreamchaser, well, hindsight is 20:20, and Dreamchaser has had its own share of delays. Would development have been faster with increased funding from NASA? Probably, but its difficult to know by how much. Its easy to imagine a parallel universe where NASA is getting flack for choosing Dreamchaser instead of going with the “reliable Boeing option”.
I hope Dreamchaser flies soon though, and that a crewed variant is eventually developed.
Good thing for NASA that the Starliner contract is fixed-price, not cost-plus :)

What kind of scaley books does your DM have?
Wow, Shermy really played a much larger role in the earlier strips!
