Call their Starship Yamato…teach them how to think big…and dine on whale and turtle meat…maybe some plover…and send ESG Hound the postcard.

It can form the basis of a nuclear (and Mark II, thermonuclear) IRBM. It only needs to work once. With the feckless Bidenites proving themselves both incompetent and having the instincts of Chamberlain at Munich vs Putin and in Vienna vs Iran * Dai Nippon will almost certainly decide the US “Nuclear Umbrella” is worthless and will look to their own defense vs The Celestial Empire 2.0

This engineering disaster is occurring in a nation whose auto industry churns out engines which run for 300,000 miles, and they produce them by the thousands every month! Somehow making ONE rocket engine is a problem? It just does not make sense!

Sad, because I think the Japanese would do an amazing job in the space industry if they were allowed to.
