    I heard in the live stream that multiple burns also means smaller batteries. They even took off the cameras in favor of more, less dense sensors.

    We can 3D print many things so I wonder how long it will be before we can do so on a nano scale to make truly “solid state” cube sats rather than collections of solid state components. Both high g and high pressure environments would benefit(especially if shape were not a restriction). No matter how high up the ladder we go it always feels like we’re still just peeking over an edge.

    I imagine that most of our leaps in technology will come once we can get low gravity manufacturing up and running.

    It's going out past the moon and then looping back, according to the Scott Manley video I watched.

    Also, Eric Berger was saying that the 2 orbital test flights could be within 21days of each other.

    “Moon’s orbit” in this case is atypical and part of the experiment is how it gets there. Photon went to the moon but not the same path or orbit destination.

    I imagine it did. They usually look like their going to fast and not lined up when they come in. Scares me every time.
