SOA makes software components reusable and interoperable through standard service interfaces. Developers incorporate existing services—like authentication—into new applications without rewriting them.

Well, Amazon is not my favorite company these days for any number of reasons, but in a competitive space (no pun intended) where they're up against Elon Musk and SpaceX, I've got to cheer them on at least a bit. Elon can't be allowed to get a monopoly on affordable access to space. (And for the record, I'm cheering on smaller companies working on reusable rockets as well, and even China.)

India’s First 3D-Printed Rocket Engine — All Under $10 Million

India has made history with the launch of the Agnibaan SOrTeD rocket—featuring the world’s first single-piece 3D-printed engine. Developed by Chennai-based startup Agnikul Cosmos, this ultra-low-cost rocket—built for under $10 million—marks a major leap in affordable space access. Backed by ISRO and IIT Madras, it’s a bold example of how innovation can lift developing nations into orbit.

#BlueOrigin will “compete” two solutions

• make the expendable 🗑️ upper stage so cheap 💵 to manufacture that a reusable stage can never compete with it
• make the reusable ♻️ stage so operable that an expendable stage can never compete with it

There is still a lot of room with these heavy lift vehicles to reduce #cost 📉 even further https://arstechnica.com/features/2025/01/after-the-success-of-new-glenn-blue-origin-to-focus-on-launching-frequently

With successful New Glenn flight, Blue Origin may finally be turning the corner
