Amazing access:

I have not but it’s a bucket list item for me

No, but the scale is insane. Go outside and draw a 30 foot diameter circle on the ground. That's it's diameter. Now imagine that circle goes up into the sky 1 & 1/3 of a football field (394 feet). Few pictures do the true scale justice.

 

How refreshingly honest.

The list is remarkably vague. I hope there’s a more detailed doc out there.

 

I would assume there are ITAR reasons for not releasing more detail.

 

I expect the list was indexed to more detailed instruction/clarification. That’s probably too cumbersome for an X-file.

 

Everybody’s right.
Here’s a nice window into the process.

Researchers reanalyzing lunar seismic recordings discovered the Apollo 17 lander's base expands enough in the morning sun to send vibrations onto the surface.

Such thermal quakes are caused by intense temperature changes that occur on the moon as it transitions from the lunar day to lunar night, which can swing from 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) to -208 degrees Fahrenheit (-133 degrees Celsius)

Sounds like Winnipeg

 

Sounds like some pretty awesome antifreeze is needed.

 

This episode was full of interesting information. I wonder if we're going to get any coverage of the firefly mission since they are only going to get 24 hours notice before launch and it's a top secret mission. He also brings up a good point about the FTS and the nearby city with the first starship attempt. Spacex made changes, and performed tests on the fts after the fact, I wonder if the FAA and other regulatory bodies will make changes for all the launch providers.

Looks like a fun project if you got kids that need something to do

Anyone remember the Lucy mission?

The dedication of the people who work on these long duration missions is remarkable!
