i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

Look, I get and share the motivation for framing it this way (hit water and blew up, SPACEX FAIL) but it's a legitimately successful soft 'landing' in preparation for a real landing back at the launch site. Exploding is the expected outcome for a rocket in this case (heat + residual fuel).

I missed this because I was on vacation, but filming for the final season of For All Mankind wrapped up last month. The sixth season is currently in post-production, with a release scheduled for 2027. It's the last space sci-fi show already in production when I started this account eight years ago.
