Since when is Honda a rocket company? This is literally the first im hearing about this. They kept this quiet for a while, and im not sure why.

It's new. Honda Space Development Division.

A lot of the global conglomerate Asian based companies do R&D across many fields, rather than just the product they're most know for. Toshiba makes nuclear reactors! Samsung has phones and sewing machines and microchips.... and nuclear reactors research.

And Hyundai is making hydrogen powered tanks, what a world. I wonder if hydrogen fuels poses any unique risks as compared to petrol.

It's highly explosive.

I wonder how it feels when VTEC kicks in on a literal rocket

What the F is every corporation's boner with rockets? 🚀

[–] papertowels@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Reusable rockets, in particular.

Imagine having a reusable car in a world where they were all disposable.
