Re: Small Tri Alpha news blurp

I’d have to go back and hear their numbers again, but they implied that with current gas prices, they’d have a hard time competing in the US with their initial plants. . Fixed costs combined with lower...

I can see the fossils at nasa being afraid of composites because lack of testing and proof, but the 300 series steel is flight proven and used on a lot of vehicles. It does have a well documen...
