The sample tubes on Perseverance, or 100 tons of excavated Martian rock on Starship? It seems kind of close. The sample tubes on Perseverance. Along with Perseverance itself, and Curiosity, Spirit, Opportunity, Pathfinder, Sojourner, the Vikings, and enough rock and regolith for a proper full-accuracy display exhibit at the Smithsonian.

Don’t forget Beagle and Mars Climate Observer. So they can be fixed up and sent to Io or something Edited April 23, 2021 by StrandedonEarth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) What is that Dragon, for all mankind?? What are you talking about? Apollo-208 just docked to Skylab-14. It's the current orbital base, and a day ago they have launched a vessel by reusable Saturn-9. Edited April 24, 2021 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week it was SN163. Next week it will be SN165. These names are so boring!" "Hmm ... we haven't used the name SN18 yet. Perhaps we should call the next one SN18 instead of SN165?"

RCgothic Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Great logo, great photo. I do reckon someone at NASA wasn't too pleased to realise having the logo on the booster meant it would be used for non-NASA missions as well. Logo on the non-reusable 2nd stage is a good compromise.

SN 20 is supposed to be the orbital test so it need more time setting up than the ones trying to solve the flip, SN 20 do not have to land to be an remarkable success. It just has to survive reentry. If it manage to land in one piece its an national treasure on an level with the Wright flyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
