It’ll be fun to see what a rocket company can do without a megalomaniac at the helm.

Go Stoke!

3000kg to LEO isn't game changing, but it fills a niche at the low end of the medium-lift range that nobody is serving. Full reuse to lower prices should help!

I hope their down mass capability will let them compete for manufacturing and hypersonics payloads with Varda and Starfall. I really want to see that segment keep growing.
