Rockets and rocket fuel, made in Holland
Roel Eerkens is one of a new generation of space entrepreneurs. Thanks to smaller satellites, easier transmission of information and a couple other things space companies don't need to be big anymore.
T-minus has its onw rocket, the Dart, which can reach heights of around 100 km, it has contributed to the Insight mission that recently landed on Mars and it is starting its own factory of rocket fuel in the Netherlands itself. Quite a list for a company of no more than seven people. And that's not all, as he tells Tyse and Herbert in this episode of Space Cowboys.
