The crowning blow to a 5-year corporate depression was the unprecedented offer by the Stelvia Corporation to the U.S. Government, to purchase the copyrights and trademarks associated with the NASA group.

I was going to say "Noah has better things to do with his money, and he's cut all ties with the US"... until I read this:

---

"... is NASA Pegasus requesting docking procedures 'cause we have NO idea what we're doing!" A frantic tween's voice called out. "Can we get some HELP?"

---

Which made me laugh out loud. (And now I'm going to be late for work...) Sure, let's run with it.
And now I know why Noah re-built Stellvia in 2014 to match this image (courtesy M Fnord) - besides keeping the economy afloat after Operation GREAT JUSTICE, he needed the extra room, and a docking bay big enough to hold a couple of Shuttles.


Edit: As for the Shuttles "coming home", could we leave the Enterprise in the Smithsonian, on Earth? It never did break atmosphere, and Noah would want the 'Danes to have some reminder of the end of their manned space program if he's ever asked...

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
