    Australia should talk SpaceX into building a rocket factory and a couple launch towers there or on the northeast coast of Queensland. Then Australia could be the only other country to launch and recover Starship-Superheavy. Plus a large solar-powered factory to obtain liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, water and liquid CO2 from the air, and produce liquid methane to fuel the rockets.

      @@iatsd Go for it! They should build their own. But Australia would be starting from scratch, undoubtedly building small, test rockets. It will take 10+ years to get to a Falcon9-like reusable rocket. China is copying everything SpaceX is doing. Australia might want to do that, too? Or is it more cost effective to work out a deal with a South African-American billionaire who has already done substantial R&D and build licensed copies, legally…and it would have to be equitable for both sides…a sort of partnership or alliance. Then Australia would be able to leapfrog competition and get to building Superheavy boosters directly. But why would SpaceX and the USA just ‘give’ the technology to Australia? A friendly foreign company employing Australian employees, land and infrastructure might be worth it. It would also have to be approved by both governments. I’m just thinking out loud. I’m no expert. It might not be possible to work out such a deal.

      Both points of view have merit - International Co-operation, and Self-Reliant methodologies. The question that would be best asked first, is which provides the best advantage to the Australian people, I suspect Hosting the launch services of companies from around the world would be more effective sooner, while encouraging locally developed vehicles as alternatives with tax rebates will take longer and require much more far sighted and apolitical comitment through programs providing tax incentives to the developers, along with mandates for Australian ownership. Of course, we'd have to take funding from other areas to accomodate it, perhaps removing all the Kiwi's from unemployment benefits would suffice,.... 😊

      Not really, Blue Streak, was used by ELDO (European Launcher Development Organisation) as the first stage of its "Europa-1" rocket. Blue Streak mostly worked OK but Europa-1 never really worked and the UK mostly pulled out. ELDO could never really get anything to work and in 1975 was merged with the ESRO (European Space Research Organisation) to make ESA. The Ariane series has pretty much nothing in common with Blue Streak, being developed 15 years later.

      No. This was just a dead end, the British had no influence on anything that followed in space. Starchaser is less advanced than many hobbyist modelers in other countries, and some of their efforts have been, frankly, embarrassing. Absolutely anyone with enough money in the UK can easily beat anything Starchaser has ever done using commercial available HPR products.

      XTV4 and 5 Test Vehicles used to develop Bloodhound's Ramjet engines and other systems fired at Woomera between 1953 and 1957. Bloodhound Prototypes first fired from mid 1956 at that range. Bloodhound Service Acceptance Trials were between 1958 and 1960 (this firing was one of them, though there were actually two version of the Missile. The Series 1 which was overweight and couldn't do high altitude intercepts and the lightweight Series 2, which became the production Bloodhound 1). This missile was a series 1, Meteor attitude was 15,000 feet and Impact range was 15,000 yards. The later Bloodhound 2 was developed using a series of Test Vehicles called XTV-11 through to 17. Most of the XTV-16's and XTV-17's were fired at Woomera. Also Bloodhound 2 Missile Evaluation Trials were done between 1962 and 1965. Bloodhound 1 wasn't operational until 1961 / 62 and in late 1962 they started shutting squadrons down to save money. Bloodhound 2 wasn't operational until early 1966.
