Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket

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”

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

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

This is the first I have heard they were doing this. Makes spacex accomplishments less impressive. Fuck elon
schrieb am 19. Juni 2025, 02:11 zuletzt editiert vonUm, 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?

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

The one thing we can't get that would mitigate the environmental costs of making stuff, is if stuff was built to last....

Pretty sure we had CRTs in highschool, back when I was a teen many years ago that were Kia brand... IIRC.

Isn't that Yamaha? Or is Honda the same?
schrieb am 19. Juni 2025, 04:03 zuletzt editiert vonYamaha 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.

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.
schrieb am 19. Juni 2025, 04:24 zuletzt editiert vonThe impressive part is that they are also known for being reliable, there are the occasional issues, but overall very trustworthy products.

Most other companies would rather stick to their traditional products and services, even if those products and services are written on the wall that they are becoming obsolete.
