Episode 56: Weaving In the conversation, Mike and Dr. Tim discussed the recent SpaceX Starship launches, marveling at the precision and choreography of the Starship booster landing. Tim noted how the visuals and control of the boosters returning to land on the "chopsticks" was surprisingly different than what he had envisioned. The conversation then shifted to discussing the challenges of public transportation and urban planning in Austin. Dr. Tim argued that autonomous vehicle networks would be a better solution for Austin than traditional fixed-route bus or rail systems. Towards the end, Dr. Tim discussed the short story "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman, which explored the challenges of coordinating interstellar warfare due to the effects of relativity.
