Ethan13 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 How do you feel about the merch of the modern space industry? Many space companies and startups have their own lines of merchandising products at the start of their activities. It seems to me that this is a good way to support a company that you like. What modern space companies do you like and would you like to support them? (Other than SpaceX) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddalek Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I always admired Moller aircraft. The original drone master. Although not quite 'space' faring. Blue Origin has a neat space craft, besides SpaceX. I like' Virgin Galactic's' plane launched rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan13 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Because of the Moller Skycar? A very interesting thing. But I rather appealed to the fact we can support our favourite project. Modern startups have entire product lines. Stickers, caps, t-shirts, etc. Although some would be worth producing models of their own rockets and other vehicles.

Ethan13 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 There are many things sold with NASA logos around the world. But the money from the sale of such things does not go to support the agency, since it has no right to commercial activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan13 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 If people were to spend money to support their favourite companies ... maybe we would sooner come to fantastic things like the Dyson sphere or something else. The rocket company Skyrora, which I like, also produces products with their own logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddalek Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Yes, Moller Skycar..I donated $100 for his test flight 8 yrs ago, Got some freebies from the GoFundme. Wow, what a website, Skyrora, still checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 It has become obvious in the past and present how important private enterprise is for the advancement of aircraft and spacecraft technology. Here is a list of the companies and projects presently in the works. Some not successful still bring meaningful science. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_private_spaceflight_companies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Love the 1950s appearance of the SpaceX Starship rockets and their vertical landings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
