Most people think space is rockets and headlines. The truth is simpler—and harsher: if you can’t move, build, repair, and resupply continuously, you don’t have a mission… you have an event.

In Episode 608, Darius breaks down lunar logistics and mobility from a mission-commander systems perspective—why sustainment beats spectacle, how redundancy and field repair become survival, and why human fatigue and decision thresholds quietly decide outcomes.
