I know you’re likely referring to New Shepard but Blue Origin did make it to orbit with New Glenn
And 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.

I hope they crush SpaceX one day.

I guess both? I know climate wise the manufacture of those things cannot be climate friendly.
any sources?

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

How many went kaboom before this?

For the production of the tank itself or the likelihood of environmental impact?
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.

I wonder if hydrogen fuels poses any unique risks as compared to petrol.
It's highly explosive.
Something something hindenberg...

I imagine they poached a lot of Spacex engineers by simply telling them “we won’t make you work ungodly hours, nor will we subject you to a narcissistic manchild with no engineering education dropping in on your meetings and trying to tell you how to do your job”
Tbf doesn’t he have a computer science degree? Which is a type of engineering degree?

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

I mean so are the shells tank fire. If you are hit hard enough to hit the fuel cell in a tank....you have other problems.

You do realize it’s Japan right? China, Japan, Korea all have work life balance issues.i wouldn’t want to work 996 or 007 lol
As much as it's true, not all company are doing this.
There are plenty of good East Asian company with good work life balance, especially newer company that already recognize the issue. -
This is the first I have heard they were doing this. Makes spacex accomplishments less impressive. Fuck elon
well Honda did this a decade later so there still is some achievement spacex has done
-
To be fair, they must've learned from the recent spacex accomplishments.
probably
no one in the private sector was gonna take that kind of risk for a while and then SpaceX took the gamble, won and now tons of players see vertical landing of rockets works so their all looking into it.

Of all the manufacturing companies, I would expect nothing less from Honda.
-
Isn't that Yamaha? Or is Honda the same?
It says Honda right on the side of the engine.

The all new Honda space Odyssey! It has a great V6 rocket engine with a 6000 million mile timing belt. After that you can buy one at amazon but it lasts 4 miles or 6 minutes.

This is a feature, not a bug.
