  1. Re: finding out about unannounced stuff through job postings / similar... A. Lot. lol At least if the stuff people find out about hardware in the computer is anything to go by. So often do I see news on sites I frequent about how someone on LinkedIn had changed their resume to include having worked on developing X, Y, or Z for Big Company. Not that the person has outright said, crystal clear, that what they've finished working on was for something upcoming... but they've said more than enough that outsiders who are in-the-know are easily able to make very accurate predictions based on it. Paired with the fact that the same person's profile then usually gets edited again to remove that same info because "whoops, maybe I said too much", is a good indicator lol We as people are easily excitable and want to share (and brag), so I can't imagine that similar slip-ups are limited to the computer tech industry. (Those involved in gov't contracts may have a bit more discipline, but it's inevitable a greenhorn comes onboard such a project, no matter where you are! lol)

  2. Is it just me or does ESA's track record with Human Launch Systems very much resemble a "great idea" conjured during a night/weekend out drinking with friends? Even down to the scale of time spent on the endeavors... 😂 Early: still sober or only a beer into things, an idea to do something gets seeded, and is generally well received by everyone, agreeing it should happen. Later: everyone is now full on drunk and all very much onboard with the earlier idea, as more and more brainstorming has and continues to occur; maybe a drunk-purchase gets made! Next Day/Week: as everyone recovers and reminisce over the events, replaying discussions, after which maybe some remain onboard, while others see how silly it was; the purchase arrives to whomever ordered it, having no recollection, and only then realizes the enormity of it all / gets reamed out by their significant other. At which point, all parties involved agree: ill conceived, best left to others. ........ Until the next time everyone gets together for drinks, and the same process repeats itself! 🤣
