[00:20:46] I mean, you can always run small missions in the interim [00:21:10] half tempted to say fff-it, just bring them back, figure out things after [00:23:24] but.. contract to land on mun, two LKO rescues, one is a pilot [00:20:11] 11 day one way trip though [00:20:39] I still have Val, Jeb, and that one rescue still in Mun orbit waiting for me to figure out what to do with them.

[00:38:26] Well, yes [00:38:29] Ish [00:38:32] It's complicated [00:39:03] granted, career, not everything's been opened up.

[13:46:48] i tihnk it is both [13:46:55] there are special names that are from a list [13:47:09] but most of the time it is generated from smaller parts [13:49:51] I remember mention of the list, but it was ages ago.
