How many Falcons were lost in the testing stage? How many Starship prototypes?<br /><br />If Japan can field a disposable launch vehicle at the same cost per kg to orbit as a reusable launch vehicle, then it is comparable to Falcon reusable. And that would allow Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to build a reusable variant, or a recoverable engine section variant.<br /><br />Just because it isn't reusable doesn't mean it's not cost effective.<br /><br />Sucks that they lost the launch though. Was hoping for better from the Japanese.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-69083503006262721662023-03-07T23:16:39.451-05:002023-03-07T23:16:39.451-05:00I keep thinking that Kim is shooting rockets over ...I keep thinking that Kim is shooting rockets over Japan to keep Godzilla at bay because the Japanese can't figure out rockets.John Wilderhttps://wilderwealthywise.comnoreply@blogger.com
