That's super cool. India has enormous potential and it is amazing to witness the rise of its tech scene.

  Imagine reading an article about the achievements of an Indian startup, based in India, with Indians at the helm, and thinking "Ugh, they only achieve things because US companies grace them with jobs!"

      A lot of the funding for various American startups comes from SoftBank and the Saudis, but we don't hear the same criticism of them when they achieve things...

    And funded by Indian money?

I wouldn't jump to praise so quickly. Additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing) is standard in the industry and the time is dependent on the size (and to some extent the mass) of the engine. They then further claim you don't need to do any post-manufacturing qualifications, which is absolute nonsense. So it's either misreporting or it's an indication of Indian incompetence/lying.

  I wonder where Indian incompetence/lying falls on the Elon scale.
  - mlindner 2y ago
    I don't remember Elon ever stating something does something it's not actually doing. His future timelines are off but it's never his competence that's been a problem with anything relating to SpaceX. And calling SpaceX (the entire industry leader) anywhere near "incompetent" beggars belief. WDon't believe everything you read in headlines written by people with no understanding of the space industry. If you want to read about the industry, read about it on industry specific sites (like spacenews.com) or from industry specific reporters (Eric Berger or Stephen Clark at ArsTechnica). Davenport at Washington Post is good too.
