i want to emphasize how these themes — that government should be a force for good, that huge teams of people working together are necessary to make it work, and that being part of one of those teams is incredibly meaningful — are universal in every conversation i've had for this series.

Yeah I was thinking maybe something with the orbital positions + Earth being fixed in the sky from the Moon’s perspective could possibly make it a gibbous earth. But looked up a quick little tool to visualize where the moon is right now, and I’m thinking it *has* to be a overexposed crescent

I’m inclined to think you’re correct Ollie. Although I’m interested to see if someone can explain how it would in fact be a gibbous earth… 🤔

The idea is to have choices, and not put our heavy lift booster eggs in one boosters basket. I'd also argue that the US taxpayer deserves its own heavy lift booster and not have it's space program be at the mercy of the billionaire class. ( Ugly truth but there it is.)

That's $19 billion. "According to research on federal spending and prime contracts by FedScout, SpaceX has received more than $19 billion from contracts with the federal government since 2008, including from NASA, the U.S. Air Force and Space Force."

NASA has no plans for a Mars City, if you're going to do this, at least be accurate
