An alternative to starlink would be great.
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.
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.

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”
In Japan?

This is a feature, not a bug.

I guess both? I know climate wise the manufacture of those things cannot be climate friendly.
At the end of the day, making EV cars isn't either unfortunately...but in the grand scheme of things. Both hydrogen and EV cars are more environmentally friendly than gas powered cars.

Um, no it doesn't... At all...
This is a first step landing test, not even suborbital, it flew to a height of 300 meters. This is the point that SpaceX was at in 2011 with their grasshopper rocket.
SpaceX is regularly landing orbital hardware and working on a fully reusable rocket with a greater lifting capacity than anything else ever. It's not really the same...
But fuck Elon, no argument there.

Tbf doesn’t he have a computer science degree? Which is a type of engineering degree?
Computer science is more of a math degree than anything else

Honda built a rocket
Me: of course they did.
They launched the rocket
Me: naturally.
They landed the rocket.
Me: on the first try?

Manufacturing of any kind always causes an environmental impact. This is the way of things.
The one thing we can't get that would mitigate the environmental costs of making stuff, is if stuff was built to last....

Don't forget, one the sleekest airplanes to ever exist.
Oh damn.
-
It's almost like they're an engineering company.
Crazy, right?
-
Mitsubishi too
None of these answers are wrong.
Pretty sure we had CRTs in highschool, back when I was a teen many years ago that were Kia brand... IIRC.
