@SpaceSector001 There is so much that requires space (microgravity) that is not main stream knowledge. Large-Scale Protein Crystals (Pharmaceuticals), Flawless Semiconductor Wafers, Scaffold-Free 3D Bioprinting (Human Organs), ZBLAN Optical Fibers, just to name a few.
@futureplz and before you think im making this up, Varda Space Industries has literally made HIV drugs in space using rocket lab hardware and returned them to the earth.
@futureplz I just learned that microgravity is required for many highly valuble items that can't be made on earth, such as ZBLAN Optical Fibers, Large-Scale Protein Crystals (for Pharmaceuticals), Bioprinting of human organs, and flawless semiconductor wafers. Space is the future.
@johhnyWalkerAZ In rocket lab is a literal pick and shovel seller to companies and governments trying to get there. They have hands and all the technology needed from the lunar communication networks to the tracking gyros to the solar cells. Not even to mention the neutron launch capability
@johhnyWalkerAZ It's easy for people to think the space race is trivial because the moon is so big and you can set up shop anywhere but the reality is the feasible spots with today's technology is vanishingly small and will be fought over. When the street realizes this space is going up more 📈
@johhnyWalkerAZ Yes, that is the singular location on the moon that I believe is the spot where USA and China will race to in the space race. It's a spot where its feasible to only ever have 43 hours of continious darkness on the surface ever, meaning solar can run. Its on the south poll.
@FranciscoSpace5@StockBully69 RKLB medium lift philosophy is.. not all your eggs in one basket. Smaller personlized orbits for customers, not sending a train to space. This blue origin explosion just means the launch backlog gets bigger, which means more contracts for RKLB.
