T+255: NSSL Phase 3 Addendum

After the most recent show (mainenginecutoff.com/podcast/254), I found a few nuggets of information in the NSSL Phase 3 documents (sam.gov/opp/bd1fa759be3c4b8285575337fa166d0b/v…), plus some more updates came out in a call (sam.gov/opp/bd1fa759be3c4b8285575337fa166d0b/v…) that the Space Force had with some reporters.
