    Good luck China. Without reusable rockets, this will be extremely expensive. It’s certainly an issue that can be brute forced with spamming more rockets, but each launch won’t be as cheap as it could be if you could reuse each rocket.

      They are testing them now, they claim they’ll have reusable rockets in 2025 or 2026. Seems it’s in their plan.

    I mean i would hope so. Its either everyone or no one, same as with GNSS. Completely unacceptable to only have one monopoly system especially if that system is under private control. Really tho i would much prefer if we just gave up this whole satellite internet bs or maybe build a unified one under common control.

    It will end up like the rocket that blasts through the ring of space junk in Wall.E
