The best way to think of SLS is as a balding guy with a mullet: there are fireworks down below that are meant to distract you from a sad situation up top.

For eight minutes SLS roars into the sky on a pillar of fire. And then, like a cork popping out of a bottle, the tiny ICPS emerges and drifts vaguely moonwards on a wisp of flame.

[It is] a first in space flight, [a] rocket that is at the same time more powerful and less capable than the Saturn V.

i did some hacking around with the security_framework crate https://docs.rs/security-framework/ so i can get a debug printout of the query and to add a feature

so the query matches the one used by apple's hacked ssh to get the passphrase

GUESS WHAT
