New comment by jeroen79 in "ESA has a commercial launch strategy, but will member states pay?"

jeroen79 — Sun, 13 Apr 2025 10:06:22 +0000

reusability is mainly done for cost instead of environment, but you need to launch a lot to re-cup the costs, and esa is not a commercial org like spacex.

I do think the ESA rockets use a more eco friendly fuel then others, that is probably more important then some metal on the seabed.

Not surprising that it is faster if you first load the entire thing in memory, but why then use a DB?, and not have your app just keep the data in memory?
