Steve Jobs (Apple) and Commodore computers started the Personal computer revolution in 1976. The world changed from multi-million dollar mainframe computers to a world of sub-thousand dollar personal computers.
By 1980, there were over a million personal computers.
The world could change radically in the next few years. We currently live in a world where it costs over $50 million for a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. A rideshare on a Falcon 9 costs $350,000 for a 50 kilogram payload. However, you typically have to wait a year for a rideshare mission.
In 2027, instead of buying a Cybertruck, you could choose to buy your own reusable rocket and a small satellite to send up to orbit.
This rocket is real and the hardware is being tested. It is a low cost revolution.
Rocket Lab has the Electron rocket and it costs $7.5 million for a launch. the Electron rocket started at 225 kilogram payload but is now 320 kilograms.
Sidereous Space will be able to launch 6U cubesats for $100,000.
If they succeed in launching to sub-orbit next year (2025) they will already have a valuable business.
If they succeed with orbital launch in 2026 they will be ahead of other rocket companies with billion dollar or multi-billion dollar valuations.
The Sidereus rocket is designed to be fully reusable and single stage to orbit.
The 10 kilogram rocket engine is 3D printed. The fuel tank only weighs 15 kilograms. The entire dry weight is 30 kilogram.
It can launch with regular jet fuel from any airport. This 660 gallons (2 tons of fuel) only costs about $2000 per launch. This is less fuel than most business jets. It is 50 times less fuel than a wide body passenger jet.
The rocket does not have to stay this small. Later versions can be larger.
When these rockets are in mass production, then a constellation of 1000 mini-Starlink communication satellites could be deployed for $100 million.
