feels like grift.

i'm sure I'll get downvoted for this comment, but it always feels like a way to enrich themselves.



My guess is he sees ICE hauling people out of even the courts when they were attempting to abide by the legal processes and will say f-it, why bother, its safer to not adhere. just my assumption of OP's intent.


wasn't tim ferris promoting one of these products years ago? was like a faraday cage for your nether region.


My cousin (submarine nuke plant operator) has stories of his compatriots using lead foil to line their pants.


Is this a precursor to a viable alternative to any of SpaceX products?


Not at this stage. Looks like they used a smaller rocket to test the core concepts involved, rather than build a huge, production-ready platform like SpaceX. Good to see Japanese industry still improving their self-reliance.


Seems like this test is equivalent to the SpaceX Starhopper which went 150m... https://spacenews.com/spacexs-starhopper-completes-test-flig...

You can build a $30k MRR business with 1% the effort you need to build a $30M MRR business. Once you escape a certain size/scale the day to day operations grow in scope. So do you want to deal with HR or payroll? Do you want to have to keep bringing in $100k worth of google ads traffic a month?

The question to think about is can the small idea potentially be big? Or is it a TAM limited scope? Don't forget there is horizontal vs vertical scaling to think about too.


Does Kick integrate with my existing quickbooks?
