The musk biography made me believe that I should have gotten a physics degree. Or at least taken physics. Can anyone recommend any online physics?

They seem to be increasingly confident about the Fish & Wildlife approval. Wonder what kind of internal messaging is happening there (F&W just saying "we're still signing it but it's fine" or something).

I don’t think the Fish & Wildlife Service approves spacecraft launches. They just need to amend their opinion within 135 days AFAIK.

The FAA won't issue a launch license until the environmental review of the last launch is complete, part of which is performed by the Fish & Wildlife Service.

Was just about to recommend this. I have to add that this is one amazing resource. The only thing missing is a lack of practical problem sets.
