Elementary RD-180 Episode

Did anyone catch last night's "Elementary" (Season 4 Episode 9)? In it, the New York "Sherlock Holmes" solves a murder [major spoiler alert!]

involving an Elon Musk-like character who wants to keep the RD-180 ban going!
I think it is neat to see spaceflight issues creeping so much into TV scripts.

Yes that show does a good job of being topical, a while back there was a murder over an AI and the story line certainly benefited from the rhetoric that Musk and others have had about AIs.

Did you ever see the episode of 'Castle' that had a Mars One type venture being derailed by sabotage and murder?

It seemed to be a cross between SX and Blue. The company had the high tech look of SX but needed time to develop their replacement for the RD-180.
I don't know if the AI episode you saw was the Numb3rs episode where they attempted to apply the Turing Test and almost got Anita killed.
The Mars One-like episode on Castle was fun.
Over all, it does seem like when they look for new twists on the scripts space helps spice up things!
