@MarcusHouseGame Rapid & complete rocket reuse, low cost propellant, orbital refilling & propellant production at destination are the four essential elements of making life multiplanetary

@nextspaceflight Stage Zero, which is everything needed to launch & catch the rocket, is at least as hard as the booster or ship

@TimFernholz Efficiently reusable rockets are all that matter for making life multiplanetary & “space power”. Because their rockets are not reusable, it will become obvious over time that ULA is a complete waste of taxpayer money.

@HSajwanization I hope others succeed too, but at least there is one rocket where success in making life multiplanetary is one of the possible outcomes

@TrungTPhan I came to the (obvious) conclusion that a radical improvement in rocket technology was needed to make life multiplanetary. That required creating a company, as success was not in the set of possible outcomes for the existing rocket companies.

@lrocket Making life multiplanetary requires a vastly higher standard. The “competition” is making the equivalent of expendable rowboats, instead of ocean-crossing ships, because their sights are set far too low.

@FutureJurvetson @SciGuySpace @CNSAWatcher Interesting. Well, I think China is smart to aim for a fully reusable rocket. Other countries should also do so. It is the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.
