I agreed with Peter. Venus is a really interesting place and certaintly a great challegene. But If we had the technology of terraforming we could create a second earth right in our own solar system with the same Gravity(almost).

the mid-air recovery is kinda awsome exploring Venus would be exciting from a scientific point of view, and i would really enjoy knowing more about our closest neighbour But that photon i mean... if i understand it well, it's game changing for the industry, considerrably reducing the cost of satelite production, giving access to space to anyone who needs it. How the hell isn't it the norm already ? the idea seems so obvious yet nobody came up with it before

Hey Felix please read this, its long but important I have been a fan for a long time and I have seen you change a lot, in good ways, whether its you getting better at making videos or changing your first line from " let's dive right in " to " let's take right off " but 1 thing haven't changed for long ,is your intro , that is pretty good but I thought I could try to make a better one for you, I see you make alot of videos on space x/starship and you also love them, and there goal is to go to mars, so I thought why not do something with that , I kept it short so it won't bother the viewers( if you use it), and I kept some unique things about your intro so it will still have the old feeling For example Blue Triangle ( I tried to make it look better ) Your BG music of intro I worked hard on it, and its done, if you wanna see it , I uploaded it on my/this channel, its the latest upload ( I didn't knew any other way to show it to you ) I hope you like it and if you do then plz use it as your intro , i made 2 intros you can use one of them if you want to , i made it for you If you won't see this comment for some reason , I will comment again in next video cause i really want you to see this, just reply me so I know you saw this , so i won't comment about this again, thanks for your time, use it if you like it, I guess this a first fan art/ fan intro for you( I wrote this and was ready to paste when you upload the video so there is more chance of you seeing this 😁)

They've got their niche in the launch industry figured out and are very methodically developing the technology to best serve customers with small payloads. The Photon is a really interesting idea! It sounds like it could really increase efficiency and lower costs when you don't have to duplicate all that hardware.

There is a Chinese company developing a small sat launcher with propulsive landing. Its payload capability is very similar to Electron, but the wet mass of the rocket is about 3 times Electron. So that is what it costs to do propulsive landing at this scale: a factor of 3 in launch weight. I'm guessing that this company is essentially owned by the Chinese government and the point is to develop propulsive landing technology (to later scale up into a Falcon 9 competitor) rather than to be competitive in the small sat launch market. Edit: here it is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkSpace#New_Line_1 Planed to fly in 2020. Liftoff mass 33t, 200kg to SSO. By comparison, Electron is liftoff mass 12.5t for 150-225 kg to SSO.

I wonder if for interplanetary missions one could use the electron as a third stage launched from Starship. The cargo Starship could carry 6 complete electron rockets with room and payload mass to spare. Each could then carry much more payload than if it launched from the surface and and/or use the surplus delta V to achieve a faster route to destination and quicker orbit insertion where needed. The multiple rockets could carry different parts of the mission, such as an orbiter or two, landers, aircraft and such. There is of course the little matter of how to modify them so they can be started in space instead of on a launch pad.

The logistics of launching from the top of Everest are somewhat problematic, of course. In general, you can't get _usefully_ high while still launching from the ground, which is why air launch has so much attraction. Of course, air launch has its own problems, which is why nobody is successfully doing that either...

Or, if you're using a mobile device app, where you can't type in an internet address, use the FB search feature, and do a search for "Vincent P Falk". You'll know it's the proper page if you see a picture of me, wearing a bright orange suit, with a CRJ regional airliner jet in the background!
