  2. The Boeing CEO between 1945 and 1968 studied law and doesn't appear to me to have been an engineer. His name was William McPherson Allen. From Wikipedia: While he was president of Boeing, he made the famous decision in 1952 to "bet the company", when he authorized construction of the Boeing 367-80 and again when he authorized the launch of development of the Boeing 707.[3] He also participated in launching other planes of renown, among them the Boeing 727, Boeing 737, and Boeing 747.

  7. Starship will be profitable as a fully and rapidly re-usable Earth based launcher (including StarLink and potentially Earth-to-Earth) even if manned Mars missions weren't on the horizon

  9. You should walk around the city you're in while you do your talk like a vlogger. Use a selfie stick too. Makes the video part more interesting than a static background. Audio content was good though!

  10. "Astra" not to be confused with "Ad Astra" creators of the VASIMR engine
