Don't forget, one the sleekest airplanes to ever exist.

It's almost like they're an engineering company.

Mitsubishi too

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?

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.

I wanna buy one and see what it can do with an old 4 cylinder VTEC out of a Civic Si.

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.

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.

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).

Guess we doin rockets now

Okay, I knew from texts books that H2 is small but I never thought of the real-life consequences of it being so small. Then theoretically, Helium should also be "leaky", right?
