  2. @Scott Manley >>> I did a quick Giggle search and found that at least one company's large cargo-carrying parafoil has a glide ratio of 4.5:1. Starting at 35,000 feet {as the same webpage lists}, IF my quickie math is correct that means the parafoil CAN cover 25 miles horizontally while descending. The webpage I referenced: https://defense-update.com/20070513_onyx-pads.html NOTE: I heavily edited this comment after posting it. At first I just suggested that Scott {eventually use} an image of the EAS Excalibur from BABYLON 5 and its short-lived spin-off CRUSADE for the opening of his videos. It THEN occurred to me to add the paragraph above. I case someone "Liked" this comment for the ORIGINAL VERSION, I wanted to explain the change. NOTE 2: This is ONLY VERY WILD SPECULATION on my part: If RocketLab could put some form of extendable propeller powered by a small reciprocating engine, it could turn the booster into powered parafoil {MY personal nickname for a "powered parachute"} and extend its gliding range. That said, I PRESUME folks at RocketLab have ALREADY considered this....

  3. Eating his hat? THAT would give NEW MEANING to the old marketing slogan for BRIM coffee, "FILL it to the RIM with BRIM!" 😊 😊 😊
