Point Nemo is the most remote place on Earth.
If only.
then we'd know where he was.
That was good.
Point Nemo is the most remote place on Earth.
So if you're in Point Nemo, you're farther away from any other human, any other landmass, except when the International Space Station flies over, then you're only 250 miles away from a human.
So when it goes over Point Nemo, you're closer to space humans than you are to Earth humans.
I suspect that there will be part of the ConOps concept of operations is they're going to pluck some of the different modules apart, rather than just trying to have the entire kind of unwieldy structure with all those solar panels, all those radiators.
Let the damn thing burn up.
So this is the crux of NASA's plan that just got reannounced with ignition.
So we have Jared Isaacman, new NASA administrator, exciting times.
They are going to double down on this idea that the new commercial space stations who are going to replace the International Space Station, first they attach to the existing ISS, they build up their modules, and then it's like the phoenix rising from the ashes of the ISS.
The remainder of the ISS that's not going to be โ
kind of consumed and built into the future, the remainder of the ISS will be de-orbited.
It's a cool plan.
This is what I'm really passionate about.
How do we start to build things way bigger than the International Space Station, where each module could only be as big as your biggest rocket?
We are talking flat.
