    Ehh, there’s also all of the cryo/temperature control stuff that’s pretty critical for keeping everything at the correct (read: extremely low) temps in order to be able to properly use that mirror.

    Ok, so two Starships :D.

    Chucking up a ground based sized scope was one of the projects Elon specifically mentioned last week.

    It’s gonna get crowded in there esp w Strahan in the mix…

    And Laura gets to repeat her Dad’s Mercury flight.

    Edit: The two I named above are guests. The other 4 are paying customers.

    BO gets the publicity of the 2 on the dime of the other 4..

    I shouldn’t be surprised but the sleaze factor makes me despise BO even more.

    Now this seems an ideal candidate for spin launch, especially if the launcher is on Luna. But they’ll still need to harden the guidance and terminal boost systems as well as the projectile itself to handle the g’s. Turnaround could be pretty quick for repeated impacts.

    Thanks for the update!

    Is there any pad more appropriate to return to the moon from?

    Any chance they launch Orion from 39A but Starship from Boca Chica?

    Orion’s got to go from 39-B. SpaceX has 39-A leased for a couple of decades.

    7 years in on a 20 year lease

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s extended.
