This was just answered in the coast phase broadcast:

Including a break for sleep is also a large factor in this profile given the time of day of today's launch.


I can't imagine sleeping under these circumstances. I'd probably be pumped so full of adrenaline, I wouldn't be able to sleep for a week.


Ambien. Members of SEAL team 6 actually napped on the helicopter ride to take out Bin Laden: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/09/ho...


Humans are amazing in our ability to adapt to the new normal. I was of the same mind of how the heck could you do this, however my body learned when I was in the military to sleep whenever it could under circumstances that I would have never consider possible until it became the new normal. Years latter I had the pleasure of teaching my wife to sky dive. On the ride up to altitude I would close my eyes and nap she was a bundle of nervous energy. She said it freaked her out, I just smiled. The average humans ability to adapt is key to our success as a species. In the end, I did nothing special, I just adapted to survive.


Why the indirectness? Is there a downside to directly confronting the lawyer?


You may never know. "Oh, my mistake. Sorry, I'll have the correct draft for you this afternoon."


Exactly this. I want to know and reveal motives (it's not foolproof) not just escape one incident.

They are likely to repeat the attempt if they think they can get away with it on you.

Strangely this was a topic of discussion with my family the other day.

It's definitely selfish, but I need a way to get to space somehow. We could justify it as aiding the budding commercial space industry :)

It would have mass market appeal at ~12k USD a pop. The question becomes where would you send it?

Personally, I would love to drift into deep space, but could settle for the sun. Possibly a remembrance countdown on the web with clips of everyone to be sent off until launch.


If you can settle for the Sun, and be patient... Just wait ~8 billion years for the sun to turn into a red giant (engulfing the earth, along with your remains). You may even get lucky and some of your remains may be swept away in the solar wind.
