Impulse and Relativity will beat Musk to Mars?
Space-X will be beaten by another commercial company
Impulse Space, Relativity Space Aim For 2024 Commercial Mars Mission.
https://aviationweek.com/aerospace/comm … rs-mission
Launch a commercial Mars lander mission during a window of just “a few weeks” in 2024.
Impulse will contribute their Mars Cruise Vehicle and Mars Lander to Relativity’s Terran R, which is a completely 3D printed launch vehicle. The launch will occur from Florida’s Cape Canaveral as early as 2024, and the companies have an exclusive agreement to launch there until 2029. “This is a major milestone for both Impulse and Relativity, as well as the entire space industry,” said Tom Mueller in a press release. Mueller additionally serves as Impulse’s CEO. Relativity cofounder and CEO Tim Ellis added, “This is a monumental challenge, but one that successfully achieved will expand the possibilities for human experience in our lifetime across two planets.”

The thing about India is it does have a degree of Hindu Nationalism but it has skill and product, it also builds stuff that works, Define Indian Engineering, some say its cars look crude Demolition Derby, a bashed up looking Destruction Derby, Banger Racing things, its crude, unsophisticated, dangerous maybe noisy but it gets from point A to point B. Mumbai build stuff, there was a government owned Hyderabad Allwyn Limited, it exosted in the Andhra Pradesh, India trying to make a build and tech center maybe it didn't work but the car and motorbike company in Japan Suzuki is there now, Chandigarh India Sumitomo Corporation, British company that used to make English brands make variations of automobiles manufactured. They have an Arjun a Karna Tank and other type of gun and truck they might export, we have no magic Star Trek anti matter space ships. Maybe they are behind other nations in space but there is no space elevator so the tech for getting to space has not changed much since 1957, the Soyuz isn't there for many in the West with sanctions so maybe there is a place for India to sell in all this.
