I know they are the leaders in the private space industry but not this fact.
The thing is they are ambitious, I mean highly ambitious.
And that's what separates them from the rest of the space crowd.
I mean their REUSABLE LAUNCH SYSTEM PROGRAMME is the coolest thing a rocket enthusiast would have seen in his life.
The most observable benefit of this system is that you can literally land the rocket boosters anywhere you want. The standard parachute landing mechanism needs a landing zone which I think carries a lot many problems like it can go anywhere it wants to I mean the control lies in no one's hand ( this system has been used to deploy rovers on mars).
The bad part about the reusable program is that it is a lot failure-prone. Anything could go wrong like what if all the fuel got used up or the engines didn't kick up at right time maybe because the altitude sensor malfunctioned. But as everyone would be aware that better things require practice to work and that's exactly how SpaceX perfected it by going wrong 4 times initially.
The other thing a rocket enthusiast would like about them is that they make 90% of parts in house.
I wonder how Elon Musk got Tom Mueller to design the MERLIN ROCKET ENGINE. It works on the gas generator power cycle.
The reusable launch system is highly cost-effective, a thing the company owners drool over.
These were some of my thoughts over SpaceX. I mean I love their work in this industry.
Next, I might write my thoughts over STARLINK also a few more blogs might spawn on reusable launch systems basically on how I imagine things to work in it.
