Not just 'a' complete refueling demonstration, ~10-40x in a row with no major issues. And then do that consistently.

It would also be lovely to know the actual number of required refuelings per mission... a number that keeps increasing every time a new one gets disclosed from reputable sources.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"NASA Has Been Implementing the President’s Proposed FY26 Budget Cuts Since Early Summerβ€”In Clear Violation of the Constitution"

Appointees & politicians telling you the US will do more and be leaders in human spaceflight with this budget are lying to you.

But one question that should be asked is what caused Musk to tell the truth now (or something closer to the truth anyway)?

These newer numbers come close(r) to validating what many of us knew years ago using back-of-the-envelope math, since around the time of the first launch.

The most recent numbers mean:
1. V1 isn't even considered a heavy-lift launch vehicle (20t+)
2. V1 lifts less than F9 (17.5t reusable, 22.8t expendable)
3. V2 isn't a super heavy-lift launch vehicle (50t+)
4. V2 lifts less than Falcon Heavy (<50t all reusable, supposedly 63.8t expendable).

For reference, these were the published numbers in April 2024.

I was born in 1970, and was an only child and a latchkey kid. PBS and the CPB raised this Gen Xer.

The thought that anyone else in my generational cohort had a hand in electing the folks who killed all of this???

Hell is too good for them.

The rumored number I heard for -10 was _a lot_. More than a lot other programs/vehicles have had, ever...

Maybe you woke up today and said 'I need to do commentary and presentation using authentically-researched fonts from WARGAMES."

You're in luck - the work has been done for you.
