It's oft said that Relativity Space is a 3D-printing company; that's the hard problem they're solving. Launching satellites into space is a side-show.

- Robotbeat 7y agoIf the problem they're solving is harder than "just" launching satellites into space, then that doesn't bode well for their chances of success. Just launching stuff into orbit, or attempting that, has swallowed many companies in failure.
- Teever 7y agoNot necessarily. If they can solve the issues with 3d printing then they can potentially have a cheaper, faster, and more versatile production methodology which can result in faster iterations to solve the issues that they face with the actual launch process.
