Perhaps you should hawk your minimally-tested, 'just trust us', generic pre-designed handles made out of cheap steel to NASA, and tell them what a bundle they'd save. If it works then you'll be on a gravy train.
Well, a limited-run gravy train, for 50 or so units.
- matt4077 9y agoI appreciate some good snark, but that's more or less exactly what SpaceX is doing, although their handles are slightly more complicated. By using off-the-shelf hardware, and reusing the first stage, they're on a good trajectory to undercut previews launch system by almost an order of magnitude. And NASA trusts them enough to outsource even manned flight to them.
