    Yup, I see it now. A starship, landing on the surface of the moon. Big hatch opens on the side (maybe bay doors like the shuttle has?). Crane appears, bringing out a Starliner, and gently lowering it to the surface of the moon. It still manages to have a critical mission failure and kills everyone onboard.

    Edit - Damnit, Eric Berger did one better:

    Okay man, can you Fischer Price this up for me, does this allow for them to communicate in space? I'm just trying to figure out how the FCC mandate extends to space travel.

    Don't beat me up, knot trolling, but that looks like my paper CRTC Radio operators license along with my pilots license from 1997...

    How does the FCC fit here?

    The FCC regulates communication up to a certain altitude.

    Google “FCC rules on rockets”. The first few hits are pdfs that’ll answer all your questions but I think the info might be a grade or two about the Little People..

    Soon to be the largest liquid hydrogen storage facility in the world. 2 million+ gallons of lh2. The new larger and closer ball won't come in line before SLS launches but they are pushing hard. Not suprised Nasa went with vertical vaporizers this time around. They seem to be more efficient pushing the liquid towards the vehicle but are also a pain logistically to service.

    Not hard although the double vacuum jacketed wall is overkill for methane.

    The last part of that video, the 4 large cylinder tanks that came off the barge were labeled liquid nitrogen. I don't know for sure who they belong to, but judging by how quickly they were moved from the wharf I would guess X.

    I don't remember what he was calling the Dragon Booster refurb facility but that is called Roberts Road for now.
