JAPAN IS FUCKING BACK>Japan’s space agency said Saturday its prototype reusable rocket successfully completed the first liftoff and landing test, marking a step forward in the cost-cutting technology dominated by SpaceX.>The prototype, launched from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA’s) test site in Noshiro, Akita Prefecture, reached a height of about 10 meters, and then landed.>The flight lasted about 40 seconds, according to JAXA.https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/11/japan/science-health/japan-launches-lands-reusable-rocket/
>>538774882nigger 10 meters are u serious? try it with an orbital booster going 4300 mph. spacex did this 10 years ago, they are far far behind.
>>538774882Nippon supa powa Twenie Fortie
>>538774882All it took was the US showing the world how to do it
>>538775291>did this 10 years ago, they are far far behind.Using H1B visas. Kek
>>538774882But what about black people Dah starving and sheeit!
>>538774882Thought Japan wasn't allowed to put guidance systems in rockets. Or is that only for military rockets?
>>538775291Our rocket projects are all about using dual-use/cheap consumer parts and catching up with US with a limited budget. This one for instance used Sony's consumer LiDAR and IMU sensors and pulled it off.
>>538776072It still didn't put a payload in orbit.
someone post the webma tiny rocket flew up 10mliteral worse than the graduation project of an engineering studentand don't forget last week japan rolled out "sakana fugu", an ai router thhat can "beat" us AIsscam vs scam, japanliteralky
>>538776072That will be hard because the USA programs have tons of funding and talent but I could see Japan being more competitive then communist EU program that gave up on the heavy lift rockets because of SpaceX and the NASA SLS super heavy launch . idk what the EU space program even does now. The benefit to Japan is they wont have to meet stupid EU regulation and geo return quotas.

>>538775701Its free human capital. Maybe new Zealand needs some.
>>538776219>sakana fuguAnd it has achieved the smartest AI. We learned AI accuracy depends on RAG vector databases, and stealing US hyperscalers RAG databases (via Jeet industrial espionage) will eliminate the need to rely on US data centers. Just copy and paste it into Japanese data centers. For this, we're pushing Kioxia's RAG-optimized NAND (NVIDIA Storage-Next™).
>>538776072That’s pretty amazing
Japan must make the tech smaller. That is their niche.I should be able to survive in space with rocket boots and an oxygenated helmet.
>>538776946>stealingby paying 20 times more the tokens...let me go steal a bento box for the original price lateri can do it
>>538774882They were dependent and locked-in by the U.S. when they licenses the Thrust Augmented Thor first stage; blackboxed as fuck and they couldn't compete in the world launch market back then.
>>538777488Utilizing Kioxia's Super High IOPS SSDs, which is scheduled for sample shipping this year, allows for the infinite scaling of vector databases in RAG servers. This means Japan can build super-smart AI even with a limited budget. Since AI is all about the amount of data you feed it, NAND flash memory will inevitably become crucial.
>>538775481then hiring every smart brown person on earth to come work here so they can send every file on the company server back home to friends and universities
>>538774882but I just bought spacex stock at $200 per share. what are you trying to say OP?
>>538774882I still don't understand a business value of making reuseable rockets? How about going to the Moon first like we did 50 years ago? That should be easy enough, right?
>>538774882Jeet means victory!
>>538777911AI is a scam, it's literally an indian in a box
>>538776072Pity you guys cucked yourselves to licensing the blackboxed Thrust Augmented Thor in your early days. You should have developed your own home-grown hardware.
>>538777979How else are those countries supposed to get high technology?
>>538774882This "rocket" is smaller than reentry pods
>>538778238With Rapidus's 2nm chips, Kioxia's SSDs (for RAG vectors, KV cache, and nearline), and Micron's HBM4 and LPDDR5X, we can build an ultra-high-performance AI server entirely "Made in Japan" without relying on foreign influences. Add to that Japan’s expertise in opto-electro fields (Co-Packaged Optics, Optical I/O), and outperforming American AI servers is well within reach.
>>538776072so exactly how SpaceX started then? though they tend to design and manufacture a lot of stuff in house now
>>538778371again, plz brag about something AFTER you actually accomplish itotherwisr it's called a SCAM
>>538774882GLORY TO THE CO-PROSPERITY SPHERE!LORYTOTHECO-PROSPERITYSPHERE!
>>538774882Fucking gay ass tabloid garbage with their bait titles
>>538778483Apple, AMD, Nvidia recently all announced "NAND Shift".https://x.com/citrini/status/2066712653297299797
>>538776072>OurNo Japanese people come to 4 chanLet alone speak English They are to busy living in what ever that place is in the lord of the rings where the elves go outside of human realms You are a vpnigger sir Kys
>>538778301>Big long hard white Phalluses in Asia What kind of message does this send to the world?
>>538776072>1:1 copy of SpaceX>That sizeNGMI
>>538774882Japan innovates and excels. Americans can only copy and steal.
>>538775976Fucking Yakub Jr.
>>538776072westoids had better just surrender now or prepare to fight
>>538781523Any sample for X-axis hovering rocket? or we are unironically the first one?
>>538774882Ahhh Nippon!!
