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.

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.

well Honda did this a decade later so there still is some achievement spacex has done

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.

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.

In Japan?

This is a feature, not a bug.

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.

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....

Oh damn.

Crazy, right?

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.

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

Yamaha is definitely in tune with the music. I never remember which is which, but their logo is tuning forks and depending on the product the tuning forks can extend past the circle. I think their motorcycles have it extending past.
