What Katdorf Kerman is running upstairs — NASA won't say, everyone is asking

Early station science is classified by routine. In today's attention economy, routine reads like mystery.

NASA hasn't disclosed what's being run in the LSI 1 science module. That's standard classification procedure for early-stage research. It also means nobody knows — and in the current media environment, that means everyone is speculating.

KerbTab wants gossip. Orbital Mechanics Quarterly submitted a data access request. This newspaper ran a sidebar. Whatever Katdorf Kerman is doing up there, it's the program's first real science output and it's happening now.

When results surface, they will land in peer review before they land on the front page. The Herald intends to be in both rooms.
