I wonder if it counts as space piracy if the one who steals back control of the ship from the company is it's commander.

Edit: did I miss a few months timeskip at some point? Rewatching ep4 and how was the Russian astronaut on Sojourner having a live conversation with his wife?

I was wondering that too but I assume they just weren't that far out at that point?

i appreciate fam’s unwavering commitment to the belief that space magically makes everything better and any problem involving space can only be solved with more space

like, sure, space definitely is going to address north korea’s fears for its own security and it’s definitely going to invest all its money in space programs instead of nukes. why not

It's silly, but they've also built up a geopolitical situation that's less violent and unstable, I think. The United States and the USSR didn't get involved in any destabilizing conflicts in the Middle East.

I’ve been thinking about starting this series and I was wondering if it’s ever explained where everyone gets the money to run these massive space programs. Like I would imagine the defense budget is nothing compared to the supply chain budget for the lunar and Martian colonies.

The whole premise (which is accurate honestly), is that if the USSR and the USA didn't waste untold amounts on defense, we'd be able to actually do things. Considering how insane the defense budget is, that's true.
