Honda Reusable Rocket First Launch

[Nerb]

Naturally compact little people they have at their disposal? What do you mean?

I was hoping they would invent new forms of propulsion which would end the use of conventional fuel. Then regular sized people could go.

The Japanes have some small people. That's what I meant. They also have Sumo Wrestlers but I don't think they'd send them. Maybe they will send robots now they are getting good at engineering them too.

And they are clever to let all the other manufacturers go through their testing and destroying of prototypes to learn from them and produce something that does what it does in the clip first time round (or, up and down).

It makes we wonder just how big a role science fiction has played in shaping young engineering minds. Interesting times we live in, indeed.

Well, I do have a button on my android phone labeled tricorder. It contains apps for navigation, rock and plant identification, magnetic and electromagnetic readings, color analysis and comparison, a compass, a motion readout display, star charts including planets and many satellites. Basically everything a tricorder can do with less medical instruments. Most don't realize even in the original Star Trek, the tricorder was linked to the ships main computer. So uploading and downloading wirelessly from a bigger system is not new at all. 

And there was an Anime that was about a Japanese space program that miscalculated their space capsules and rockets to where they had to train schoolgirls as astronauts. They were the only ones to be able to fit the craft.

LOL science fiction becomes reality? Honda also made a very light jet...so which came first, the anime or the light jet; original jet debuted in 2015, it was certified in 2022?

Sending robots for the more perilous missions would seem the smart thing to do, IMO and just think how lighter the load would be without all the baggage we humans would need to take with us.

Edit to Add: Hey you called it Nerb!

"Perhaps Honda’s Asimo humanoid robot, fearing societal collapse, needs a reusable rocket to vacation off-planet for a while."

Honda's Playing with Robots and Reusable Rockets—Look Out, Tesla and SpaceX?

The Asimo robot already looks the astronaut part, lol and it's very small too.

LOL. The Asimo robot always reminded me of an astronaut anyway. Built for the job me thinks. Looks very masculine so they should make a girly sidekick and sent a married couple out there to reproduce and build a base ahead of time for the "silly humans" (movie ref: Spaceman (good but wierd)).

This Honda story seems to be hitting the scene with good momentum so I hope we can keep tabs on it as it continues to unfold.

Cheers.

Spaceman movie? This is Hanus.

No thanks. Unless it's a comedy, I'll pass.
