>and out of all of them, the only rocket to successfully deliver anything to orbit at a lower price per kilogram than Falcon 1 is fucking Rocket 3
This actually somewhat vindicates Astra. They just fucked up with that upper stage design flaw.

It made for a super neat interplanetary probe launcher though.

Peter Beck is funding a Venus mission which is cool.

A commercial satellite company is going to be mass producing TROPICS derived antennas for their constellation. Hobbit Lab needs to license the tech or just buy a few spare antennas so they can put a really good microwave antenna on their Venus mission and peer through the clouds with spare parts like Magellan did, despite being much smaller.

TROPICS represents a paradigm shift towards more/smaller/cheaper compared to big MEO microwave weather sats and simultaneously producing better data. It's cool regardless of launch vehicle. I want to see a web of similar cubesats in LVO.
