Re: re-use achieved!

I wonder how much of today's success is a result of advances in onboard computing power and advanced sensor and control technologies. I'd imagine a big chunk. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Robert C

Re: re-use achieved!

Well, several things. First, you can now better preserve your mistakes in detail and access them for analysis so that you can learn from them. Second of course are the aforementioned advances that enable you to land the thing (though this may be oversold). Third I think is that those advances let you reuse the rocket in an improved envelope that might have been overwhelmed by small defects-of-rapid-turnaround in a bygone era. So I think its less a matter these days of can we land at all. We've been balancing broomsticks in a way amenable to machine learning for a few decades now. It's more how to we capture and employ the knowledge in an end-to-end launch-recover-reuse loop and a willingness to take the risks. Kaizen.

But somehow, Google is always one step ahead.

Well, sorta .. this certainly is impressive:

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is committed to meeting our customers needs—no matter where they are. Amidst our growing list of new regions, today we're pleased to announce our expansion to Mars. In addition to supporting some of the most demanding disaster recovery and data sovereignty needs of our Earth-based customers, we’re looking to the future cloud infrastructure needed for the exploration and ultimate colonization of the Red Planet.

But GCP, which in the old days was Google App Engine? That was so flaky that a project we were building using it had to move away.

Google: always in beta. Amazon: slow and steady wins the race.

I hope GCP is cool tho. Have you used it .. or any friamer out there used it?
