That’s a terrible watch order. Why would you start with Revenge of the Sith?

I hate it when my chasing rare plummets
does that mean it’s time for another rewatch?
Doesn’t matter. The answer to “time for another rewatch?” is always yes.
Crew Dragon and Starliner were originally supposed to begin operations in 2017. SLS was supposed to launch in 2016. Back in the 90s, JWST was scheduled to launch in 2007. It would be shocking if Starship development wasn’t delayed.
They’re rebuilding and replacing the aging train fleet and had a bunch of ideas of how to reuse the existing tracks
Ah, makes sense. I was not aware of that.
Norminal launch, booster landing, and Starlink deployment.
Kurzgesagt did a video on the topic. We just build a planet-sized sunshade to freeze the atmosphere, launch the excess CO2 into space, and import water from the ice moons of the gas giants. Simple, really.
A bit disappointing, but not too surprising. Going from a propellant transfer demo in early 2025 to a crewed lunar landing in September 2026 is a pretty agressive timeline.
Huh, I wonder why they did that?
