Part 4/5:
In the realm of rocket technology, Stoke Space made headlines with their maiden test of a reusable Hopper rocket. The successful test signifies a critical step toward achieving fully reusable rocket stages, which could dramatically reduce the costs and barriers associated with space launch. Stoke Space's goal is to be the first company to make rocket second stages reusable, paving the way for a future where 100% reusable rockets are a reality. If successful, this innovation would mark a transformative shift in space travel, similar to the way reusable aircraft revolutionized aviation.
