Byd surpasses you in sales and the best -selling electric car is a surprise

by

Although we are already looking at June and summer, the consolidated car sales figures for Europe have just made an appearance. Like every month since we started the year, there is no good news for Tesla. On the contrary, Volkswagen can be extremely happy and Byd manages to make a place. This is all that have given themselves the first four months of the year. The first four -month period. Europe has closed this first four -month period with a small brake on its sales, according to data from Acea. Between January and April, 3,640,211 cars have been sold in Europe, about 40,000 units less than last year by these dates. We write down a 1.2%drop. Electric cars, however, are growing at a good pace. Last April 145,341 cars of this type were recorded, which are almost 40,000 units more than last year and, above all, a growth of 34.1%. In the accumulated of the year, 558,262 have been counted in the Europe 26.4% more than in the same period of 2023. Tesla. It is, without any doubt, the most striking fact. At this point, last year he had placed 77,314 cars on the market while this year he has only managed to get 41,677 units. It is a 46.1%drop. The fall is of such wingspan that its market share has also been reduced by half, standing at 1.1%. And that if we talk about the accumulated of the year. In April the company’s fall has been 52.6%. The first year of each quarter in Tesla is always complicated, so in April 2023 he added a market share of 1.3% but, this time, up to 0.6% has been reduced. An April to forget. The data is even more worrying if we look with magnifying glass the April data. The Tesla Model and, the one that was its great superventas, has only managed to be the ninth best -selling electric car in Europe with a 53% drop compared to last year, According to Jato Dynamics. To find those of Tesla Model 3 you have to dive to the twenty position. In this case, the fall is 42%. If we attend to the data by brands in April, the situation is even more complicated because we must look in the eleventh place to find the company of Elon Musk. To this we must add that the company depends exclusively on two models to the point that the Tesla Model S and Model and have sold less than 100 units last April. A sorpasso. For the first time in what we have been placed among the 10 companies that sells more electric cars. He does it at a key moment. The month of April has reported more sales than Tesla and its growth compared to the same month of 2023 is 169%. The appearance of ByD is no accident. Little by little it has been adding more and more cars to its electric fleet and, above all, a hole in Europe has been becoming. But there is something else, none of its cars is among the 25 best -selling models of the month that reflects its strength to diversify market and aim for many different types of audiences. Byd’s advantage over its competitors is that most have a flag model that adds most of their sales. He Renault 5 He added 5,662 of the 10,328 total electric units that he put on the market. He KIA EV3 accumulated 5,680 sales of the 9,101 units sold in April. He Skoda Elorq He added 7,998 units of 13,598 Czech brand registration. The great winner. Without any doubt, Volkswagen. With 107,153 units sold in April, the German company has led the month in Europe and with 410,141 units sold in what we have been for the year, it is the only brand that has exceeded 400,000 units … and also 300,000. Toyota, its great rival worldwide, is the second manufacturer that has sold the most cars until April and registered 287,521 units. But, above all, it is the electric plane what best reports to Volkswagen. Their Volkswagen ID.3, ID.7 and ID.4 They occupy, in this order, the second, third and fourth position of best -selling electric cars last April. Especially relevant is the growth of 34% that adds the Volkswagen ID.3a car that has cost a lot to start starting and has been in the market since 2020. And it’s not just that. Leading. If we attend to the sales of the Volkswagen Group, April was accompanied by excellent news for the company. The Skoda Elroq was the best -selling electric car and the Enyaq He slipped as the last of that honor list of the 10 best -selling electric cars on the continent. In sum, Skoda was placed in third position among the manufacturers that sell the most electric cars. And we must add that Audi has also accompanied. It was the fourth manufacturer that sold more electric cars last April. Only the Volkswagen Group has cast three companies between the four that sold more electric cars and half of the 10 best -selling electric cars if we serve the specific models.

make shareholders join with him

by

As part of its compensation and incentive To improve your managementthe CEO of the big companies usually receive Bonds by objectives. Elon Musk has had to pass several times By courts to collect His Milmillonario Bono of Tesla after far exceeding all the objectives that the shareholders put in 2018. Michael O’Leary, CEO of Ryanair is about to achieve his of 100 million euros that Ryanair promised him. The Ryanair CEO justified its compensation compared to other high -performance industries: “I think we are providing a remarkable value for Ryanair’s shareholders at a time when the Premier League soccer players and trainers earn between 20 and 25 million euros per year,” published The British The Telegraph. The announcement of this achievement by the CEO occurs just when the company He faces a labor conflict with part of the template to which claims the return from your salary. A millionaire dividend According to collected BloombergO’Leary’s bonus was agreed in 2019 and extended after the renewal of his contract in 2022 for five and a half years. However, the collection of this bonus is not automatic. O’Leary can only access 100 million euros if Ryanair’s shares remain above the 21 euros for at least 28 days consecutive natural. According to data of The Telegraph and Expansionthe actions of the airline have been maintained above that threshold since last May 2, thus accumulating 27 days in a row above the limit, so the objective could already be reached. This condition had never been fulfilled for so long, since the previous contribution record was only five days in March 2024. O’Leary has been prudent about the imminence of payment, pointing out that “many things can happen until the objective is completed.” However, rather than not achieving the objective of contributions from his shares, the manager is cautious because the payment of the bonus It will not be effective until 2028and only if the CEO continues to lead the company until that date, according to the terms of its contract. O’Leary’s key: repurchase actions The good behavior of the company’s actions has occurred even though Ryanair record A decrease of 16% for its annual benefit with respect to the results of the previous year, reaching 1,610 million euros. This result is partly due to a cunning operation of shares repurchase worth 750 million euros that the company raised in mid -2024. That repurchase has reinforced the value of the shares making it a more profitable asset for its shareholders. According The information of ForbesMichael O’Leary’s personal fortune is estimated at some 1.1 billion dollars. That heritage places it as one of the richest people in Ireland and is characterized by having an extravagant character and not hesitating to apply measures that walk to the edge of the razor in order to get yours. Something that also applies in airline policies.

Health has just confirmed that the new tobacco law goes after the terraces. And it is not the only environment that wants smokeless

by

Terrazas, Marquesinas, University Campus, Teaching Centers, Sports Facilities and Labor Vehicles will be some of the new environments where smoking will be prohibited. At least that’s what the Ministry of Health seeks, that is working to reform the current anti -tabaco legislation, with the objective of “protecting public health and” denormalizing tobacco consumption in shared spaces. ”The plan is part of a broader strategy that seeks to reduce the impact of smoking, a threat that, according to Minister Mónica García, causes 30 % of cancers. A commitment that had been paused for years. The measure is not new, but so far it had not left the drawer. In 2021 a draft had already been written With proposals in this line, also including an increase in tobacco taxes and a stricter regulation of vapeo. That plan, prepared with the recommendations of scientific and medical societies, was two years paralyzed until Minister Mónica García, who took possession in November 2023he boost him again. Click to see the message of the Minister of Health in X Social consensus has changed. The idea of ​​prohibiting smoking on terraces was one of the most controversial when it began to consider, but public acceptance data has evolved over time. A survey of The Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (SEMFYC) pointed out in 2022 that 72 % of the population would agree to expand these smokeless spaces, including part of the smoking citizenship. Although without mentioning a specific survey, Health has pointed out that the measures raised “are backed by a majority of citizens.” New devices, same regulation. One of the most relevant changes posed by the reform is Normative comparison of electronic cigarettes and tobacco devices heated with conventional tobacco. In practice, that implies that these products will have the same restrictions of use in public spaces, without exceptions. The text that develops this aspect already It has been sent To the European Union for its evaluation, within the usual procedure. The challenge: convert the draft into law. For now, the reform is in the elaboration phase and must overcome several filters. First, the approval in the Council of Ministers, and then a parliamentary process where the support of other political forces will be needed. Everything can change in that process. Even so, the ministry insists on the importance of progressing quickly. A national strategy for 2030. The fight against smoking is part of a more ambitious national strategy. The objective shared with the Spanish Association against Cancer is clear: achieve the first generation of young Spaniards free of tobacco by the year 2030. For this, in addition to expanding smokeless spaces, Health plans to promote the unique packaging, finance treatments to quit smoking from the National Health System and advance measures that hinder the access of young people to tobacco. Not only physical health: also mental health and equity. Exposure to tobacco smoke does not affect all people equally. The Ministry puts the Focus on vulnerable groupsas minors or pregnant people, and raises this reform from an equity approach. Every person, argues healing, has the right to safe environments no longer to be involuntarily exposed to smoke.

China is the country where more cars are sold. And that is why it is filling with “used cars” that nobody has led

by

The car market in China has exploded. Their companies register figures never seen, registration records work at full performance and their exports are marking records. There is only one problem: the figures are swollen. Record sales. In China, a total of 31.44 million cars. Of these, 12.89 million were represented by the “new energy” vehicles. That is, electric cars and plug -in hybrids. The growth of the latter was excessive (35.5% more than in 2023) but it is that the total figure also grew to add 4.5% more than the previous year. Is it a lot? A lot, no. Lot. To get an idea, usually In Spain Some more million vehicles for sale. During the crisis after 2008, sales fell until falling below 900,000 units, after a year in which 1.6 million cars were placed on the market. Since then, we have not exceeded 1.2 million vehicles bought. Compared to Europe, the figure collected by the continent pales. In our continent, 10.6 million cars were sold throughout 2024. That is, it is time to look at the world market. According to Acea74.6 million cars were sold last year. That is, more than 40% of the cars sold throughout the globe were recorded in China. To the world market! The figures are so impressive that, obviously, they put on the map the great Chinese manufacturers. At the moment, Toyota remains the great world manufacturer with 10.69 million cars registered in 2024, followed by Volkswagen in the distance, with 8.69 million vehicles. Hyundai and Kia, with 7.23 million cars in the streets, close the podium, according to Jato Dynamics data collected by Motor1.com. From here, we enter some figures that will leave us an interesting fight in 2025. Stellantis was the fourth world manufacturer, with 5.64 million units but between the fifth position of General Motors (4.69 million) and the seventh of ByD there are only 420,000 units. Geely also slipped among the 10 manufacturers that sold the most cars worldwide last year. And the trend is positive. So positive that of the 10 manufacturers that sold more cars in 2024, only three grew compared to the previous year. One is Ford but only sales increased by 1%. The others, of course, are the Chinese representatives. Geely improved his figures from the previous year by 20%. And Byd stretched up to a growth of 41%. The figure promises to be even higher in 2025, the year in which a Objective of 5.5 million cars. That would put her on the way to overcome Stellantis and place himself as The fifth or, in the best case, fourth producer World Cup. Tightening the accelerator. Byd is doing everything possible to get those figures to continue growing. To do this, his landing in Europe will continue. He Byd Dolphin Surf It is raised as a key vehicle to gain ground among low -price electric vehicles, its Byd Seal U DM-I (plug -in hybrid) is being a success and very soon will begin to produce in Hungary. For now, now has exceeded Tesla sales in Europe. And he is also doing it in China. Over there has launched an aggressive price war To continue keeping sales at high, put the rivals against the ropes and, above all, give out a stock of vehicles difficult to sell now that they promised that Your autonomous driving capabilities They would reach all their vehicles, regardless of the price. And all these cars? It is what the Chinese government seems to be saying to its manufacturers. Reuters It points exclusively that those responsible for the State have called a meeting to manufacturers. They are worried, according to the agency, what can happen if the number of automatures is faded. Thus, they have asked all companies responsibility but in Reuters They put the focus on Byd and Dongfeng Motors. Its dealers are selling as “used vehicles” cars that nobody has really used. Wei Jianjun, president of Great Wall Motor, assured in an interview with Sina Finance that there were between 3,000 and 4,000 dealers acting in this way. Km 0. That formula is what we know in Europe as “Kilometer cars 0”. They are cars that manufacturers enroll or force dealers to buy to keep the business with them. These cars count on records such as sales of new vehicles and, subsequently, in the sales count as used vehicles. The manufacturer can use this strategy for several reasons. The first is an answer to regulations. If activated, for example, the obligation to sell serial cars with A broad security equipment or one NEW EMISSION REGULATION And the company has them standing in a warehouse, it is better to enroll them and try to give them out as used vehicles. Another issue is that of dealers who may have minimal sales quotas against manufacturers. This leads to the obligation to get cars that has not managed to sell and give them out later. The advantage and disadvantage for the client is evident: a cheaper car but without the possibility of choosing anything of its equipment. A price war with direct consequences. Wei Jianjun, president of Great Wall Motors, came to ensure in the interview that the automobile sector was living His own “Evergrande”comparing the industry with the collapse that occurred in the real estate sector with the bankruptcy of this company. Without giving names, he said that some of China’s “main manufacturers” had rushed to improve their image and, with it, the market value. That same market value has fallen generalized since Byd opened a new price war with great discounts on more than 20 models offered. Investors fear that these discounts will destabilize an industry that is already especially competitive. Why is it a problem? But, above all, it is feared that the numbers are too swollen, that in the fever to grow as quickly as possible, they are playing in excess with automatrications and, therefore, a stock of vehicles is accumulated to which it is very difficult to give … Read more

They don’t stop arriving tourists to swim with wild orcs

by

That clamor in many enclaves that has ended up calling as “tourist” He had reached the most remote places on the planet. They were no longer just the paradisiacal beaches, the “adventurer” went much further entering into areas such as Afghanistan, Iraq either Albania. In fact, Even Antarctica He had been the subject of the hordes eager for new experiences. What surely few ventured was that swimming with Orcas was going to become “must.” Dancing with cetaceans. I told it in A report the Guardian this week. Every morning in the window, a quiet coastal town of Baja California Sur, dozens of tourists in neoprene costumes go up Guided boats by local fishermen or by tourist operators from large nearby cities such as Cabo San Lucas or La Paz. Your goal: swim with wild orcs. An ecological crisis: What began as a unique and inspiring experience has become, according to many veteran experts and operators, into an uncontrolled activity that threatens both the safety of people and the well -being of animals. In absence of formal regulationup to 40 vessels can converge on the same group of orcs, especially between May and June, the months of greatest activity. The popularity of the phenomenon has exploded since 2019driven by networks, and has exposed A legal vacuum In Mexican legislation: although there are laws that protect threatened marine species, none explicitly prohibits swimming with dentated cetaceans such as … orcs. Invisible risks. Although there has never been a wild orca attack on humans, marine biologists warn that excessive and messy contact can cause defensive reactions. Plus and even more worrying: the cumulative effect of engines’s noise and the constant human presence on resident orc interferred by tourist activity. According to He explained to the Guardian Captain Juan Vásquez, with more than two decades at sea, these animals “will remember being harassed” and could stop visiting the area. Despite this, economic pressure is high: marine life tourism is a crucial source of income and few wish to limit it. Even vessels without insurance or license participate in these excursions, competing with better established operators that even guarantee meetings with orcs to ensure reservations. A pioneering plan. Given the lack of clear regulations, a group of responsible scientists and operators (including the Marine Biologist Georgina Saad and the documentary filmmaker Erick Higuera) have proposed the First Management Plan of Orcas in Mexico based not only on numerical fees but on the behavior of animals. The plan, which expects government approval this summer, would limit the interaction to Three boats per group of Orcas, with a maximum of nine daily vessels, and would require official permits. In addition, it states that guides and captains learn to identify Stress signals In cetaceans to know when to retire. Each Orca can be recognized by its unique dorsal fin, which would facilitate a record of sightings and interactions. Plus: Part of permits income would finance local patrols and training, establishing a sustainable model that prioritizes both conservation and education. Local tensions. However, the implementation of the plan is not exempt from controversy. Many captains and local families feel that they have not taken into account. Accuse that permits will end favoring large companies of Cabo and La Paz, displacing those who have lived from marine tourism for generations. In addition, they criticize that the plan is focused exclusively on The windowwhen both orcs and tourists already move throughout the peninsula. For SaadHowever, concentrating the regulation on the window is key to establishing a legal and operational precedent. “We can send the message that this is the only place where you can swim with orcs, and that is how it should be done. Everything else would be illegal.” A fine line. In summary, and despite the divisions, in the report they concluded that a large majority agrees that the solution is not to prohibit, but educate. Evans Baudinpioneer in this type of experiences and critic with the current “circus”, insists that the essential thing is to do things well: protect the orcs and continue offering respectful and safe encounters. For its part, the window is at a crossroads: either it becomes responsible tourism model or symbol of how a viral fashion can even damage the most imposing giants of the ocean. The success of the plan will depend not only on the rules imposed, but on the collective will to take care of what everyone says they want: creatures.

All the questions and doubts that remain to be resolved from the Nintendo Switch 2 to a week of its launch

by

Next week we will attend the launch of Nintendo Switch 2the new Nintendo laptop and successor of a console that not only conquered the past generation, but completely changed the way we understand gaming. The new model, bigger, more powerful and more complete, will be officially launched on June 5. However, despite its proximity and I could try it a few weeks ago in Paris, There are still many questions to answer. Nintendo Switch 2 is still unknown in many sections. So, and while we wait to put the glove as soon as possible, here is a compilation of questions, issues, issues and things that Nintendo has not yet clarified and that, except for surprise, we will have to wait for the launch to solve. Is there any improvement in Nintendo Switch 1 games that have no patch for switch 2? Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | Image: Nintendo It is, perhaps, one of the most relevant aspects. Nintendo intends to launch patches that improve the performance and graphic quality of certain games (patches that are paid separatelythere is plenty of saying), but it remains in the air if Nintendo Switch 1 games that will not receive patch (think of ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons‘) They will benefit in some form of the extra power of Nintendo Switch 2. It does not necessarily have to be in textures, but, for example, in the frame rate per second or in the drawing distance. This is something that would improve, and not precisely little, the experience when playing certain titles like ‘Pokémon’, without going any further. What will it be exactly backward? State of retrocompatibility as of May 27 | Image: Nintendo Nintendo is Testing of their games and those of their partners to shed light on retrocompatibility. At the moment, most games can be played without problem or have problems that will be fixed for launch (PDF), some can be launched and are tested (PDF) and a tiny minority present problems when starting or are not compatible, directly (PDF). It remains to solve what these errors are, to what extent there are guarantees that a backward game can be played from beginning to end and if there will be any solution for games that are not compatible today or cannot be launched. What happens if I put a Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge on Nintendo Switch? We know that Nintendo Switch 2 uses the same cartridges as Nintendo Switch and that we can put a cartridge of the previous generation in the new console. The question is, and the otherwise what happens? Does it give an error without more? Does the console show more information to the user? How does DLSS work? Nintendo Switch 2 | Image: Nintendo This confirmed That Nintendo Switch 2 mounts a NVIDIA processor (it is not known which, at least officially) with GPU, also NVIDIA, with Dedicated RT and tensor nuclei. That means, mainly, one thing: compatibility with DLSSthe Reacalado with AI technology How popular it is on PC. According to Nvidia and Nintendo, Switch 2 will admit 4K resolution in TV mode and up to 120 fps in Fullhd in portable mode. The thing is, will the user know that DLSS Is it activated? Can it be deactivated or adjusted in some way? Something tells us no, that the operation will be totally transparent to the user and this will not be able to touch graphic configurations, but we will see. Can I use the Nintendo Switch dock with Nintendo Switch 2 and vice versa? Not because Nintendo Switch 2 does not come with its dock, which includes it, but because it never hurts to know that if the new one breaks, we can use the ancient console. In the event that you can, will you win or lose something with respect to using the original dock? Can I play in 4K if I connect the TV 2 switch 2 using the original switch dock? Do Nintendo Switch’s joy-with Nintendo Switch 2 work well? Joy-Con de Nintendo Switch 2 | Image: Nintendo It is evident that we will not be able to hook Nintendo Switch’s joy-with the Nintendo Switch 2 because the system is different, but it would be a real point that could be connected wirelessly to take advantage of them and play with friends. We know that it can be done, but not if there will be any limitation in terms of latency or connectivity. What we do know is that nothing of loading them with the Switch 2 and that we will not have button C, for obvious reasons. Does the Pro Command in Nintendo Switch 2 work? Nintendo has not let the opportunity to announce a New Pro command for switch 2. However, it has not spoken about the command of the previous generation. It can be expected that, being a wireless command and knowing that old joy can be connected wirelessly, we can continue using our pro command. There is no official information about it, in any case. Can Bluetooth launch headphones be used? It looks like a question without further injury, but the truth is that Nintendo Switch was launched in 2017 and it was not well entered 2021 which was updated to admit Bluetooth headphones. We do not know if Nintendo Switch 2 will offer this launch capacity or if, on the contrary, Nintendo will leave it for later. Can I load the console for either of the two USB ports type C? Nintendo Switch 2 | Image: Nintendo And now that we talk about connectivity, Nintendo Switch 2 has not one, but two USB type C. ports we know that one admits load and another is for accessories, but not if we can load the console in either. That possibility would be great, since the positions of the cables and loaders are usually capricious and it is not always comfortable to play while carrying the console. Having that possibility would give more options and improve the experience. Does … Read more

Vapers have lived a decade of freedom in Spain. The honeymoon ends

by

Spain is about to set the ten years of ambiguity. The vopemers, which were sold in the early last decade as the “intelligent” version of tobacco, will be treated exactly the same as the lifelong marlboro. Why is it important. The New anti -tabaco law that prepares health normatively equate electronic cigarettes, Heated tobacco and vapers to conventional tobacco. The regulatory limbo is over. That liminal space is over in which it seemed acceptable to vap but not smoking. Health wants to prohibit the use of cigarettes, and also of vapes, in terraces, marques, labor vehicles, university campuses and external leisure areas. The same restrictions that conventional tobacco already had. The context. During a decade, vopes users have enjoyed a kind of undeclared privilege. Technically they did not smoke, but “vapeed.” It was steam, not smoke. A semantic difference that translated into real freedoms: vaping in places where smoking was prohibited, avoiding – not always – the social reproach looks, maintaining the perfect alibi being “leaving tobacco.” The final blow. The prohibition of flavorings marks the end of that golden age. Not only lose spaces: they lose their identity. The flavors were what most differentiated the vaping of traditional tobacco. Without mint, fruits or sweets, vapes are reduced to simple nicotine dispensers with USB-C load. Yes, but. The resistance is real. CNMC (National Commission of Markets and Competition) has challenged the prohibition of flavoringssomething unthinkable already with traditional tobacco. The classic tobacco companies have stopped fighting for years: they know they lost that war. Vapes still have faith in which they can win. Between the lines. This comparison says something deeper about how Spain manages this type of innovations. The vapes followed the classic pattern: Technological grace period. Social normalization Regulatory awakening. Total comparison. It is the same route they made (saving the health distances) VTC with the taxitourist apartments with hotels or cryptocurrencies with traditional currencies. The threat. For Vaper industry, this is more than a regulation: it is a declaration of war against its business model. Without flavoring and no differentiated spaces, what competitive advantage is left to the traditional tobacco? Technology, perhaps. But that seems insufficient to maintain the growth of an industry that grew precisely because it was not “real tobacco.” Deepen. The draft must still go through the Council of Ministers and subsequently through Congress, where you will need agreements with other political forces. Restrictions can change, but direction is irreversible: vapes have lost their special status.

The two are from Spacex

by

On March 30, 2017, Spacex launched the European Ses-10 satellite with a rocket that had previously flown and landed with its own engines. It was the first time something similar happened, and it was a transcendental moment in history which has chealed access to space, leading to the megaconstellation of Starlink satellites. Eight years later, there is a second rocket capable of doing the same. The striking thing is that it also belongs to Spacex. From Falcon 9 to Starship. Since that historical moment of 2017, the early stages of the Falcon 9 rocket of Spacex have landed 434 times, taking off again 404 occasions. The propeller that has fly more times has the b1067 serial number. Last May 13 He successfully completed Its mission number 28. 17 of them have been launches of Starlink satellites. Unlike Falcon 9, The gigantic rocket starship It is designed to be totally reusable, but for now it has only demonstrated this capacity for its first stage, the Super Heavy propeller. It is just the second orbital rocket that, eight years after that transcendental mission of Falcon 9, has fly again after a propulsive landing. Goodbye Booster 14, you have made history. The first Super Heavy to reuse has been Booster 14, which first took off on January 16 as part of the Starship Test Flight 7. The 70 -meter high rocket stage returned to the launch tower after separating from the ship, maneuvering with its engines until they were caught by the arms of the tower itself. This May 27, after a restoration process, has flown for the second and last time during the Ninth Starship test flight. Its 33 engines worked perfectly in takeoff, despite the fact that 29 of them were used. Spacex did not plan to reuse the propeller a third time, and took the opportunity to test a new maneuver of stages separation, which went well, and a more aggressive attack angle in the descent, which came out regular. The rocket exploded after re -desencing 12 engines to stop on the Gulf of Mexico. Why it is an important milestone. Although Starship’s ninth mission did not achieve its objectives, the reuse of the super heavy is one more milestone in the program. Such a large rocket had never been reused, in the whole history of space flights, which brings us closer to a new cheaper of satellite throws, since Starship can put in orbit much more more load than a falcon 9 (when Spacex manages to fix the door). Of course, while the complete reuse of the propeller now seems a matter of time, the reuse of the ship remains a challenge for Spacex. The company has to continue it to the design of its thermal shield before it can also catch the starship with the tower. It is something that Spacex hoped to get on flight 10, but now he will have to wait. Special mention for Jeff Bezos. The first stage of Falcon 9 and the first stage of Starship, that is, the Super Heavy propeller, are the only “orbital rockets” with “propulsive landing” in reusing successfully. These dimensions are necessary because the first rocket capable of landing with its own engine that flew twice Little New Shepard from Blue Origin. It is a suborbital rocket, without the capacity to launch load to the terrestrial orbit. In addition to A patent struggle That Jeff Bezos with Elon Musk enhancing, Bezos was responsible for promoting that his rocket had been the first, congratulating Spacex in 2017 to achieve the “second suborbital rocket with reuse capacity”, referring to the fact that, although the Falcon 9 is orbital, its first stage does not reach the orbit before launching the second. Time has played against Blue Origin, whose orbital new Glenn obital debuted with years of delay and without having yet demonstrated its ability to land. The Rocket Lab company also deserves a separate mention, which “fish” its electron rockets in the sea after soft ametering with parachutes. NASA also used parachute to Recover solid accelerators rockets of the space ferry. But none of these technologies is comparable to the rapid and total recovery that Spacex seeks with Starship.
