It would take a lot to make Mars more habitable than Earth. This isn't about colonisation this is simply that it's cool to build rockets.

I hope they crush SpaceX one day.

(H₂) molecules are so small that they can permeate most materials, such as steel
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?
schrieb am 19. Juni 2025, 07:17 zuletzt editiert vonYep, helium is even worse for leaking! It's actually the smallest noble gas and can escape through tiny pores that even hydrogen can't fit through. Thats why helium balloons deflate faster than air balloons - the atoms literally seep through the balloon material.

Idk, looks more like Hitachi

An alternative to starlink would be great.

Because the last stage of existence on this planet. Will be febel plans to try and colonize other planets. Because our planet will start to poison us as a defensive mechanism. All of these Corporations need a plan to get off planet.

Genuinely curious: how many explosions before the successful test?

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

schrieb am 19. Juni 2025, 08:20 zuletzt editiert von buffalox@lemmy.worldIt's the only planet we can terraform (As in repairing some of the damage we've done), we are nowhere near able to terraform Mars, not even theoretically and disregarding cost.
Maybe in a century we can. But only maybe. -

This wasn't much more than a toy rocket:
6.3 m in length, 85 cm in diameter,
The test was completed successfully, the first time Honda landed a rocket after reaching an altitude of nearly 300 meters.But still they were successful on their first try, so we will have to see where they take it from here.

In Japan?

schrieb am 19. Juni 2025, 08:38 zuletzt editiert vonImo it's a good thing tho. Spreading our civilization across multiple planets is the only way to guarantee long long term success. Obviously we should also fix the climate change issue (and many others). But still, being spread across the solar system would give our species redundancy. An extinction event on earth like a large meteor strike would no longer be the end.

Anything that erodes SpaceX's monopoly is good for me

This is the first I have heard they were doing this. Makes spacex accomplishments less impressive. Fuck elon
schrieb am 19. Juni 2025, 10:08 zuletzt editiert vonHow does it make spaceX’s accomplishments less impressive? SpaceX pioneered it. Space X did it first, with a significantly bigger rocket and at a significantly higher altitude. Honda no doubt achieved this by looking at what spacex did and how they did it and copying it.
This actually makes spaceX’s accomplishments look even more impressive.

If it had vtech and a fart cannon it would have hit 600m.
