Do you think vortex cooled engines will go anywhere? If they perform as advertised then engines like raptor can get even lighter and drive launch costs down.

Also why hasn’t anyone tried to automate production of some rocket parts? Falcon fuselages are a high grade silo so it should be simple to have a factory that produces fuselages and fuel tanks with minimal labor, this alone could drive costs down like how robots drove down car production costs
