The hardest part about building a satellite is having the necessary parts to construct it; without them, it's not happening.

When building hardware, the most challenging part is not just creating it but also shipping it, which often requires being on-site at the factory.

We've achieved a significant reduction in rocket building costs, around 75%, through innovations in airframe, engines, and launch operations.

Despite the high costs associated with space, Astranis managed to build their spacecraft in a small apartment using basic infrastructure, showcasing that significant resources aren't always necessary.

The use of carbon composites in modern rocketry allows for incredibly light and strong structures that were unimaginable in the 1960s.

A first principles approach to determining the cost of a rocket involves looking at the materials it is made of, their weights, and the material prices per kilogram, rather than relying on historical costs.

Our team of about 50 people was able to build the entire airplane, demonstrating that small, high-caliber teams can achieve what larger teams cannot due to the constraints that breed innovation.

Relativity Space's approach to 3D printing rockets aims to reduce integration time by printing the entire rocket in one piece, which could revolutionize the industry.

Astranis built their prototype satellite in an apartment, demonstrating that fundamental elements can be simple and flexible when creating a demo rather than a production application.
