  You know, much of my engineering career was spent working on big budget, one-of-a-kind spacecraft programs. Amazingly, space tallow never came up :) If we’re talking 60 Yg, orbital mechanics will be interesting.

    I did not know that about your career! You’re only the third NASA (or NASA-adjacent?) person I’ve met.

    orbital mechanics will be interesting.

    Yup, and we better figure out a space elevator before landing that tallow

      I have worked on some NASA programs, but most of my work was oriented towards national security.
