Here is a brand new video with A LOT of information.

Test like you fly; Fly like you test.

There are so many quotable quotes in this 20 minute video. My favorite is:

""We cannot break the laws of physics. We do try to leverage them.""

Robert Heinlein is smiling.

My opinion...

Humans in Space will be 100% expenditures for centuries.

For human habitation - the Moon and Mars are 100% of our options.

Photographing rocks and sand, and picking up rocks and sand, will generate 100% of our income.

Venus is super heated and has a deadly corrosive atmosphere.

Jupiter is a gas planet. Jupiter moons exist inside a deadly planetary radiation belt.

Bottom Line - once you leave Earth atmosphere, Job One will always be staying alive.

I’ll reiterate my guess, SpaceX unmanned around the Moon in 2026, and/or unmanned landing and return.
