, the firm intends to enable"low-cost and nimble last-mile space payload delivery" so that customers can "access any orbit" or even reach other worlds. According to their website, the company specializes in"creating orbital maneuvering vehicles specifically for last-mile payload delivery," such as the two vehicles it has proposed for the 2024 Mars mission with Relativity Space.

Despite the fact that the planned 2024 mission will be their first, leaders at both companies have made it clear they have confidence that this partnership can land a payload on Mars.
"This is a major milestone for both Impulse and Relativity, as well as the entire space industry," Impulse Space Founder and CEO Tom Mueller said in the statement."One of the most challenging aspects of landing on Mars is the 'glide stage,' which involves an aeroshell to encapsulate the lander for the survival of Mars entry. With the power of our combined teams, experience and passion, I am confident this historic mission will be just one of many to come.
Do it.
I'm more interested in seeing a reusable orbital rocket than simply going to Mars.
I'm so excited for this
The more and more people get into space exploration, the more and more we will understand about what's out there!
China already been there.... We need some new forward thinkers.... Not one's who are stuck on things that already been done.
Yea right. 😅
