  1. NASA doesn’t have $40M for the VIPER rover but the DoD can casually give out $100M for startups to duplicate studies on ballute reentry that have been going on for a while. Doesn’t make me happy, although I’m fine with them pursuing this goal overall.

  2. So drop pods. As much as I worry where this is going, it sounds badass to hot drop space marines.

  3. Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:
