In het derde en laatste deel van NUDR650 blikken we terug op die allereerste lancering van een Starship. De impact op de omgeving van de lancering lijkt heel wat groter te zijn dan werd gezegd. De FAA en milieugroeperingen gaan een belangrijke rol spelen in wanneer een volgende Starship-lancering zal kunnen doorgaan. En het hoofdstuk (inter)planetair nieuws is na vijf weken een zeer uitgebreid hoofdstuk geworden.

Deel 1 – Lanceringen
Deel 2 – Het ISS en het Chinese ruimtestation, Artemis
Deel 3 – Starship en (inter)planetair nieuws.
