Lucky for all newcomers, Elon/SpaceX has shown the way. I'm looking forward to a world with a bunch of fast-follower brands in this, uh... space.<br /><br />I remember back in the 90's how one firm hit a wall with their efforts to get to orbit.

I will be pleasantly surprised if they fly and recycle and actually start delivering cargo to space.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.com
