'Our first space launch will occur in less than half the time it took Space X to achieve that milestone.'
That would be no small feat, given the fact SpaceX aims to eventually launch its massive, fully reusable Mars-bound Starship rocket at the cost of onlyPhantom Space arguably has two aces up its sleeve. Firstly, Cantrell was a founding member of SpaceX, meaning he worked with and learned from Elon Musk's team at the very earliest stages of the company's development.
"[Our] lower-cost and more efficient launch system could double or triple space access for new space applications." "We are well-positioned to take on this challenge, and our approach of more frequent and lower-cost space access will encourage the placement of new satellites both lower in orbit where the Earth’s atmosphere can more efficiently clean the debris up naturally and to place satellites in less populated orbits rather than dropping them off with 100’s of other satellites as is done with Rideshare today.
"This hasn’t been done in the past because of the high cost to get individual satellite replacements in place using rideshare. By making that process easier and more cost-efficient, spacecraft will become more like iPhones where there is a service life, and you recycle them. "It’s a surprising experience to watch your ideas come to life. Like a farmer, the seeds you plant grow, and you cultivate them and trim them. We had the idea to make both satellites and rockets, which eventually SpaceX did."Along the way I also learned it is critically important for everyone on your team to be fully dedicated to the ultimate goal of the company. It’s similar to being in a rowboat.
