- slaw 3y agoSpaceX uses technology that started to work in 1961.
- sebzim4500 3y agoAnd if you squint a lot then Helion is continuing a development process that started in the 1950s.
- slaw 3y agoYes, Helion is continuing what didn't work since 1950s.
- ramraj07 3y agoYes but spacex didn’t promise anything physicists said is impossible. Engineers saying impossible is different from physicists saying it. The equivalent would be if spacex said something that violated the rocket equation. They didn’t. And also while they promise the Mars, they can settle for the largest reusable rocket as a consolation prize. In fields like biotech and fusion there’s often no consolation prize. So spacex was well managed with the right level of optimism and practicality. Not so here.
