@Daylight44492 In hindsight, probably would've been better to do the more directly Dragon-1 derived Crew Dragon. Dragon 2 mostly made sense because of the significant cost savings of propulsive landing and rapid reuse, but that got abandoned.
Japan has given us anime/dating sims about cute girls who fly rockets, girls who *are* rockets, and girls who clean up after rockets. JAXA should commission an anime about rocket engineers. Basically New Game, but at a launch startup instead of a game studio. I'd watch that

So, idea time. Nanoracks just got bought by Voyager, who owns Altius. Nanoracks just finished their Bishop airlock. Altius is building a smallsat-optimized space tug, and has some kind of servicing arrangement with OneWeb...
Looks like it fits through a CBM, barely
