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.

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

And Hyundai is making hydrogen powered tanks, what a world. I wonder if hydrogen fuels poses any unique risks as compared to petrol.

It's highly explosive.

An alternative to starlink would be great.

Explosion wise or climate wise?

Also, if you look at the pictures, it's not a very big rocket.

This is the first I have heard they were doing this. Makes spacex accomplishments less impressive. Fuck elon
schrieb am 18. Juni 2025, 23:28 zuletzt editiert von notmyoldredditname@lemmy.worldUp and down isn't a hard problem in the grand scheme of things. It's expensive and doesn't offer much benefit which is why people generally haven't bothered.
Going up and over at orbital velocities and coming back is the hard part, and none of these new spaces companies have done that successfully yet, and SpaceX has now done it with 2 vehicles and reused them both.
New Glenn from Blue Orgin might be the first after SpaceX but it blew up coming back on their first attempt, but it's been designed to be orbital and reusable

I know you’re likely referring to New Shepard but Blue Origin did make it to orbit with New Glenn
schrieb am 18. Juni 2025, 23:38 zuletzt editiert vonAnd their 1st stage is designed to be reusable, so we might have another reusable provide in the near future.
It might take a handful of launches to get there, but they are on that path.

Here is an article about the tank, it appears to still be in the proof of concept stage. As for my conjecture that it would likely have a high carbon impact during production that was based mostly on similar studies ~2~ done on the production of cars.
