This week on MSB: Victory Gundam episode 14. Does Uso want to know, know that it doesn't hurt Kate? Does he want to know how it feels to go to space? Does he want to hear about the deal Katejina is making? If he could, would he make a deal with God to swap places with Cronicle? He doesn't want to hurt anyone, but see how deep the beam saber cuts. Unaware, he's tearing the Memedorza asunder.

Plus, an answer to the nagging question of what the Arti in Arti-Gibraltar is supposed to mean, and Nina's research on the history of that famous port / fortress!

Please listen to it!

Related to the self-delusion talk, in Family Theory of Gundam Tomino mentioned being influenced by M. Scott Peck's People of the Lie when making Victory Gundam.

In Z Gundam and Char's Counterattack, "New Hong Kong" is likewise an artificial extension to the existing land mass, although according to the background setting art the local mass driver facilities are actually on Lantau Island rather than on new landfill. Tomino's Z Gundam novels also mention that Kilimanjaro (which is right on the equator) was used as a launch site for emigration from Africa. I guess there's an entire backstory to the era of space settlement which is only teased out in bits and pieces over the entire UC series.
