    So, not from the SLS rollout and ( :fingerscrossed: ) launch? Or are you supporting the F9H launch too?

    It said they won't reattempt launch this year...
    Nasa's site is taking forever to load today otherwise I'd read more....

    Yeah, delayed but it’s built, I believe…

    From the Press Release announcing the delay:
    The mission’s 2022 launch period, which ran from Aug. 1 through Oct. 11, would have allowed the spacecraft to arrive at the asteroid Psyche in 2026. There are possible launch periods in both 2023 and 2024, but the relative orbital positions of Psyche and Earth mean the spacecraft would not arrive at the asteroid until 2029 and 2030, respectively. The exact dates of these potential launch periods are yet to be determined.

    Elon has talked about this before. He said even if you found pallets of cocaine ready wrapped for shipment it still would not be worth it financially to bring them back. As capable as starship is planned to be, space mining for earth use isn't going to be a thing in our lifetimes. Would require a space elevator to even be remotely viable.

    That’s how it certainly looks. Mining in space will be for using in space. Exceptions might be for things like He3 that are in insufficient supply or non existent here on earth and IF fusion power using it ever becomes viable. It’s probably a given we’ll find something to make it worthwhile though.

    Or we just convert asteroids to spaceships and space docks.

    Couldn't you just dropship them. :rimshot: Pun intended.
    But seriously, Not really an issue to drop a payload in a re-entry vessel with nothing more than a GPS tracker on board. Drop site could be calculated before letting it loose.

    That doesn't lend to the reusability of the system, though...

    They’re saying possibly beyond March ‘23 due to scheduling conflicts with other priorities.
