The Aerospace Corporation is calling for international collaboration to develop the tech for it. Despite Elon’s opposition to it, ironically, Starship may be one of the enablers for it. I think that space-to-space use is more likely than terrestrial applications, though, at least initially.

…is starting beta testing. It’s a little pricey, at least initially, but it could be a huge boon for the boondocks.

This looks promising.

I just got an email from a friend who saw it on line, so I went and looked it up. Here it is.

I was originally supposed to lead off, but the moderator rearranged things so I ended up batting clean up, and it ended up well. Sercel told me that he was going to talk about some of the things that I did, but dropped them in the interest of time, so all our talks ended up being complementary. A lot of the audience told me later that the panel discussion (the first time space had ever been a topic at this event) “blew their minds.” It was the first time I’d ever met General Kwast, but he has been talking up my book to many people.
