Millennium is over 20 years old, so I really feel like they shouldn't have bus problems like this. But they are a Boeing subsidiary...

I have an Inreach that is nowhere close to real time messaging, but I just got used to its limitations. I'm kind of looking forward to when satellite direct-to-cell connections are reliable enough that I can drop the Inreach.

I like the size and shape. Not so much the animations and exterior speakers.

Well that kind of statement usually isn't a good sign

Don't worry, the terminally online meme historians are here to help

This is SpaceX launching a competitor again? Starshield and SDA PWSA aren't 1:1, but Starshield has been floated as a replacement for Tranche 3+.

Ok, I'm back in. The 30 day mission is a Crewed Flight Test that NASA is formalizing in a way that sneaks Vast into the competition, which I'm fine with given how much hardware theyre building.

There isn't a decision point that says when we have a CLD, we will end ISS.

I don't love that. Everything Russia is doing on the ground and in orbit is such a missed opportunity to get money and set a deadline to get out of that toxic relationship. This also makes it harder to define the market for commercial stations, so private investment gets a little tougher.

Is it ablative or reusable

One of the seals SpaceX is using between heat shield tiles is called Crunchwrap

A Crunchwrap Supreme is a Taco Bell food that's like a flat burrito thing with a tostada in the middle

The Oreo is on there because of a viral video of an Oreo surviving a torch

Centaur V makes so much more sense to me than Boeing blowing billions.
