Indian startup planning to take on SpaceX with rocket that's fully reusable
Bengaluru-based EtherealX is planning to take on SpaceX, the world's most-valuable space-tech startup, with a rocket that's fully reusable, unlike SpaceX's Falcon 9, which reuses only one of its boosters. EtherealX's new technology intends to use the rocket's leftover fuel to manage the excessive heat it'll encounter upon reentry. Notably, their engine's first firing test is set for November.
