    NASA's moon-orbiting space station will be claustrophobic, architect admits

    I would have thought they could re-purpose the Lunar Starship and just park it back at the gateway, just need a big docking adapter. Park a few of them there and you'll have enough room to stretch your legs.

    Once a booster get to 70,000M and is travelling at 7700km/hr how fast does the 2nd stage need to accelerate to achieve orbit?

    Sorry the question wasn't clear. How quickly does the second stage need to accelerate to achieve orbit? Is there a minimum acceleration they need to achieve to prevent re-entry.?

    Bringing Mars samples to Earth could could cost an extra $1 billion, but NASA should totally do it, experts say

    So if it's going to cost Nasa $1 Billion , then I guess private industry could do it for, what, $200 million.
