- carlob 3y agoWhen I clicked I thought it was all an elaborate Breaking Bad reference, but that's Varga with a G.
- prawn 3y agoI'd also misremembered a TV Varga, but it was this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V._M._Varga https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V._M._Varga Reality though: "This was the first in a series of missions Varda plans to build and launch. Varda calls this design the Winnebago series, designed to bring pharmaceutical research specimens back to Earth for laboratory analysis and eventual commercial exploitation. This satellite launched on June 12 on a SpaceX rideshare mission, and less than three weeks later, it completed a pioneering drug manufacturing experiment."
