Japanese space startup aborts 2nd satellite launch attempt minutes after liftoff

"Japanese space startup aborts 2nd satellite launch attempt minutes after liftoff."

A simple question to ask selves is, how many times did Eron failed before eventually being successful?

What is an “Eron”?

And if the answer is as simple as the question, what is the answer?

This rocket launch failed since its purpose was to get to space a satellite.

Space X processes by incremental steps, with intermediary objectives set and testing of hull mainly.

That is the huge difference and complete reinventing.

Japan private companies will never compete with US ones at that rate and due to lack of major funds.

It is still always a step moving forward that promotes science so keep it on, like for some projects in Europe (ex RFA one).

Not only did they flub the launch it seems that the self-destruct function didn't work either. Yikes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN0ax1HYtKc

Must be getting expensive.

Time to go pay a visit to Rocket Man and learn a few tips.

""Japan hopes the company can pave a way for a domestic space industry that competes with the United States.""

Unfortunately and based on these trials I very much doubt if this is of ANY competition to the U.S. space programs like Space X and others.

What ever is happening at these facilities and regardless it sure seems like they are NOT in the mood to accomplish this mission.

I can't help but feel like this is a flex that is about 40 years out of date. In the 80s, this would have been notable. Now, it looks like a large-scale student project that was doomed to failure frrom the start.

Stop trying to be America.

Eron blew up at least 7 of them, not including rockets in the hanger. And yes I spelled it like that just to annoy that one pedantic guy.

Well, good luck for next time. Eventually they will succeed. Having more private space companies is always beneficial for price wars.

Not sure where all that hate above is coming from.

"What is an “Eron”?

The usage of Eron becomes even more useful, avoiding unforeseeable future litigation for abusing other people's name.

And to answer the second question, failure can be an all time best teacher.
