    • @Dutch3DMaster
      @Dutch3DMaster 8 месяцев назад +14

      Well, a part of it is the result of The Netherlands not having the abundance of space for length-wise launches. We did have wet-docks though, where the area with the ship could be pumped dry, and have the ship get submerged upon completion.
      You can probably guess that the installation for holding water out is a very expensive one, and thus not a very popular type in application.

      it's because of the way we interact with each other here on earth that god will never allow us to go any where near life on another planet. we can dream about aliens and alien planets all we want, but we will never be allowed to travel to those places. we've been forever banned.
