    They are indeed :thumbsup:

    I priced up the LUT via Bricklink last year - it was around $1,400 at the time but I didn’t weed through to delete the gougers and I think it was short of the total request by 5-8% of the pieces I was shopping for.

    Can't wait till we have propulsion strong enough to take us to orbit without without rockets.

    Per SN’s press releases from 2019, they’ve selected ULA’s Vulcan as their launch provider, so add them to the “where’re my engines, Jeff?” chorus.

    But is there anything based on reality? Sure scifi shows love the hybrid electrojet propulsion spacecraft, but none of the electric propulsion engines I've seen can do anything with any real force.

    From 2 days ago. Tory seems quite confident on the Vulcan despite New Glenn delays...

    If he's right, Dreamchaser might meet that Q1 '23 timeframe.

    But they'll have to have a test flight I would think?

    So maybe Q4 '22 :notsure:

    Once we figure out how to counteract gravity, no skies are the limit :D

    Obviously, we're not anywhere near close. I just hope to see it in my lifetime. I should be able to make it most of this century...

    I figure I have 25, maybe 30 years if I’m lucky. Bad genes on the male side of my family…

    From an email just now:


    All,

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is updating the release date for the SpaceX Starship/Super Heavy Final Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) on the Federal Infrastructure Permitting Dashboard (Permitting Dashboard) and project website. The FAA plans to issue the Final PEA on April 29th.

    The planned April 29, 2022 release date will allow the FAA to review the Final PEA, including responses to comments, and complete consultation and coordination with agencies at the local, State, and Federal level. All consultations must be complete before the FAA can issue the Final PEA.
    Information on the SpaceX Starship/Super Heavy project and Draft PEA can be found at: https://www.faa.gov/space/stakeholder_engagement/spacex_starship/

    Information on the Permitting Dashboard can be found here.

    Thank you,

    The FAA SpaceX Boca Chica Project Team

    They sure are dragging this out…
