It seems crazy that a company that's only really known for cars, motorbikes, tuning forks, heat pumps, brake pads, pens, tractors, fertilizer, display panels, outboard motors, pneumatic systems, oil tankers, furniture, locomotives, bricks, solar panels, ATVs, generators, hot air balloons, dinghies, hydrogen fuel cells, submarines, crop dusters, jet engines, cultivators, hedge trimmers, lawnmowers, precision optics and robots would suddenly pivot to rockets.
To be fair to Honda, they are doing what is expected of any companies in a capitalist system, actually innovate and diversify in order to remain competitive. Most other companies would rather stick to their traditional products and services, even if those products and services are written on the wall that they are becoming obsolete.
The impressive part is that they are also known for being reliable, there are the occasional issues, but overall very trustworthy products.

It's almost like they're an engineering company.
Crazy, right?
Isn't that Yamaha? Or is Honda the same?
Yamaha is definitely in tune with the music. I never remember which is which, but their logo is tuning forks and depending on the product the tuning forks can extend past the circle. I think their motorcycles have it extending past.

Of all the manufacturing companies, I would expect nothing less from Honda.
The all new Honda space Odyssey! It has a great V6 rocket engine with a 6000 million mile timing belt. After that you can buy one at amazon but it lasts 4 miles or 6 minutes.
This is the first I have heard they were doing this. Makes spacex accomplishments less impressive. Fuck elon
Um, no it doesn't... At all...
This is a first step landing test, not even suborbital, it flew to a height of 300 meters. This is the point that SpaceX was at in 2011 with their grasshopper rocket.
SpaceX is regularly landing orbital hardware and working on a fully reusable rocket with a greater lifting capacity than anything else ever. It's not really the same...
But fuck Elon, no argument there.
I imagine they poached a lot of Spacex engineers by simply telling them “we won’t make you work ungodly hours, nor will we subject you to a narcissistic manchild with no engineering education dropping in on your meetings and trying to tell you how to do your job”
In Japan?
"... it'll be the same, but it's a huge honor to work on this project in our company."

You do realize it’s Japan right? China, Japan, Korea all have work life balance issues.i wouldn’t want to work 996 or 007 lol
We would like to contact you for job offer in the same role as your current.
We cant pay you as much per hour but we can give you more hours to match it.
“Promise me i wont ever have to deal with Musk and i am in”
As much as it's true, not all company are doing this. There are plenty of good East Asian company with good work life balance, especially newer company that already recognize the issue.

Well, Honda is actually a competent company.
well Honda did this a decade later so there still is some achievement spacex has done 🤷
Hell yes. Any competition to musk is very much needed.
Go Honda.

What the F is every corporation's boner with rockets? 🚀
Because the last stage of existence on this planet. Will be febel plans to try and colonize other planets. Because our planet will start to poison us as a defensive mechanism. All of these Corporations need a plan to get off planet.
Feeble? But I think you meant futile? Idk.
Yes, let spend money to fuck up other planets as well instead of saving this one. /s
That’s exactly what they will say.
The planet isn't doing anything, we are poisoning ourselves. Or as lemmy puts it "big evil corporations (which we support everyday because it's cheaper than buying local/sustainable) are poisoning us".

An alternative to starlink would be great.
An alternative to.space junk clogging up the sky would indeed be nice.
It sounds like he's asking for more space junk.

And Hyundai is making hydrogen powered tanks, what a world. I wonder if hydrogen fuels poses any unique risks as compared to petrol.
