Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket

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

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.

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.

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

Is petrol not?
schrieb am 19. Juni 2025, 06:44 zuletzt editiert vonIn different ways. For example, it's very rare for a car to explode in a collision, other than in movies.
One of the reasons that make hydrogen difficult to work with in this sense is that hydrogen (H₂) molecules are so small that they can permeate most materials, such as steel. Then it can get somewhat easily to wherever there is a spark, and chaos ensues. Annoyingly you don't even need 100% Hydrogen for that to happen, as it can ignite with a concentration of just 4%.
After we stopped using Hydrogen mostly as a consequence of Hindenburg's accident, it's taken years to perfect hydrogen fuel cells to a safety standard that can be used in cars. As far as I know, its use has been limited to rockets/space propulsion otherwise (where you can just throw millions at the problem to make it safer).
