Isn't that Yamaha? Or is Honda the same?

It seems crazy that a company that's only really known for cars, motorbikes, tuning forks, heat pumps, brake pads, pens, tractors, fertilizer, display panels, outboard motors, pneumatic systems, oil tankers, furniture, locomotives, bricks, solar panels, ATVs, generators, hot air balloons, dinghies, hydrogen fuel cells, submarines, crop dusters, jet engines, cultivators, hedge trimmers, lawnmowers, precision optics and robots would suddenly pivot to rockets.

What the F is every corporation's boner with rockets?

Because the last stage of existence on this planet. Will be febel plans to try and colonize other planets. Because our planet will start to poison us as a defensive mechanism. All of these Corporations need a plan to get off planet.

An alternative to.space junk clogging up the sky would indeed be nice.

I wonder if hydrogen fuels poses any unique risks as compared to petrol.

It's highly explosive.

Guess we doin rockets now

In different ways. For example, it's very rare for a car to explode in a collision, other than in movies.

One of the reasons that make hydrogen difficult to work with in this sense is that hydrogen (H₂) molecules are so small that they can permeate most materials, such as steel. Then it can get somewhat easily to wherever there is a spark, and chaos ensues. Annoyingly you don't even need 100% Hydrogen for that to happen, as it can ignite with a concentration of just 4%.

After we stopped using Hydrogen mostly as a consequence of Hindenburg's accident, it's taken years to perfect hydrogen fuel cells to a safety standard that can be used in cars. As far as I know, its use has been limited to rockets/space propulsion otherwise (where you can just throw millions at the problem to make it safer).

It would take a lot to make Mars more habitable than Earth. This isn't about colonisation this is simply that it's cool to build rockets.

I hope they crush SpaceX one day.

Okay, I knew from texts books that H2 is small but I never thought of the real-life consequences of it being so small. Then theoretically, Helium should also be "leaky", right?

Idk, looks more like Hitachi

An alternative to starlink would be great.
