Everyone is posting the exact same launch photo today, so I'll talk about what’s actually cool about Vikram-1 that geeks me out.

​First, the entire rocket is carbon composite, even the motor casings. Most launch vehicles still rely on aluminum and steel. Carbon fiber is incredibly light and strong, but it’s a total nightmare to engineer, which is why almost nobody builds a fully composite rocket. Skyroot nailed it on their very first try.

​Second, the upper stage engine is entirely 3D printed; it completely changes the game for production. Instead of waiting months for hundreds of machined parts, they can print a finished engine in days at half the weight. That is the reason a monthly launch cadence is even on the table.

​Plus, that upper stage can restart mid-flight. That means a single launch can drop different satellites into totally different orbits, which is exactly what small-sat companies pay a premium for.

​But the biggest deal is the strategic angle. Because it uses solid fuel, you can keep the rocket ready to go and launch on short notice without needing a massive launchpad. Right now, that’s just a great commercial selling point. In a few years, it becomes a massive national asset - the ability to replace a satellite in days if you need to.

​This is a huge moment for Indian engineering. Massive congrats to Pawan, Bharath, and the entire Skyroot team.

June added a new piece of shizz I’ll have to carry for the rest of my life🤝

Live by “if someone wanted to they would” cause it really is that simple

‘I just wonder what you’re dreaming of
When you sleep and smile so comfortable,
I just wish that I could give you that
That look that’s perfectly un-sad
Sometimes all I think about is you,
Late nights in the middle of June
Heatwaves been fakin’ me out’

‘it doesn’t matter if you’re the most beautiful shade of blue, if their favourite colour was always green’

[Fahima @faahimaxx]

At the end, when the dawn was sleeping. Whilst the darkness creeped in. We were left alone, me and my thoughts about you.
