What Does Rocket Science and Cryptocurrency Have in Common? @socky
Rocket Science and Cryptocurrency. What do they have in common?
They probably wouldn’t have anything in common if it wasn’t for Colin Cantrell (NEXUS creator). Colin is in the works to make NEXUS available via a satellite constellation. Colin’s father (Jim Cantrel the founder of Vector Space Systems) is building rockets to put microsatellites into orbit. Jim is also the cofounder of SpaceX. I’ve previously written an article about NEXUS.
Here is my previous article on NEXUS:

Now today, let’s explore VECTOR Space Systems.
Jim Cantrell, (Colin's father) is building a production facility and headquarters literally in my back yard for his new company "Vector Space Systems". This is only a few miles from my house, utilities are being put into the ground where the new production facility and headquarters are soon to be built.
Take a virtual tour of the new Vector Space Systems headquarters.
The new headquarters and production facility are going to be built in a new industrial innovation park in the city of Tucson Arizona called “Pima County Aerospace, Defense & Technology Research and Business Park”. There will be a railway installed to optimize shipping which Vector plans to utilize to transport their rockets anywhere in the world via standard shipping containers. There is a brand-new road called Aerospace Parkway that will be at the heart of the new Aerospace park. This Aerospace park was built right next to an existing aerospace company “Raytheon Missile Systems”. The first addition to the park is a company called World View. World View has built their headquarters and a launch/landing site for high altitude tourism. They plan to take people to the edge of space with high altitude balloons. Currently World View is performing commercial contracts supporting military and scientific missions. Right now, the intersection at the aerospace park is being expanded and a new road is being installed to make access to the new Vector headquarters.

Vector Aerospace Experts:
There are top aerospace experts that have been hand selected to work for Jim Cantrell at Vector. I have worked with several of those aerospace leaders over the years. One of those folks was my direct boss. I personally know that these aerospace leaders are the best in the business! I know five of these top aerospace leaders including Jim’s wife who I worked in the same department in a missile defense program. This is going to be huge!!! Anything that the Cantrells touch turns into a money maker. Jim Cantrell cofounded SpaceX with Elon Musk, so I'm sure putting microsatellites into space using small scale rockets would be no challenge for Jim. They plan start building and launching 100 rockets a year and scale up to 400 per year. That is more than 1 per day!
Vector market
Just the other day, I called my former boss and got some info on Vector. He just returned from an overseas trip to secure new contracts. In our conversation, he told me about the market that Vector is going after. Right now, there are an incredible number of microsatellites that just don’t have a ride to orbit. It is too costly to spend hundreds of millions to launch a microsatellite. Also, insurance companies won’t insure such risky ventures. For the space industry, the only option left is called a “ride-share”. This means that a microsatellite must tag along on a large rocket. There could be more than one microsatellite on a major launch vehicle. The issue is that the mission that is entirely dedicated to the primary payload. Anything else are back-of-the-bus. Any microsatellites that get lucky enough to tag along have no say in when they launch, what altitude, direction, and speed that they get to in orbit. If a microsatellite is lucky enough to catch a ride, there is a very high probability that the mission is not optimal for their usage. These microsatellites are on a long waiting list and since they are a secondary mission, for any reason they could get bumped from the flight entirely. It is extremely costly for a small company to pour resources into getting a satellite ready to have to wait for a ride that may never come. Many good companies with great technology have gone out of business because they just couldn’t get their hardware into orbit. Vector plans to mass produce affordable and reusable rockets. They plan to be the first company to have a surplus of rockets ready for customers. This means no waiting to get your hardware to space.

Launch locations.
Vector is securing the use of launch facilities worldwide. At their proposed rate of launch. At least 1 per day, they will need the use of all launch sites they can get. They also have designed their rocket to fit inside a shipping container which gives them shipping capability anywhere in the world by ship, train, or truck. Their new production facility in Tucson will have a railway directly from their plant site so they can load and ship rockets by train. Vector has also developed a mobile platform that has been tested in a remote intersection.

How Does This Have Anything to do with Cryptocurrency?
Answer: NEXUS
Colin Cantrell (creator of NEXUS) is the son of Jim Cantrell (founder of Vector). With this partnership, there is no doubt that NEXUS will be the first full scale globally accessible currency by satellite. The future will no longer require land based networks under government control and restrictions.
Interested in investing?
Right now, there is no way to invest directly in Vector. They are not a publicly traded company and they do not need start-up money. If you are one of the lucky aerospace experts being hand selected to work for Vector, you might be able to get stock options. Otherwise, the only way is to invest is through NEXUS. As Collin is an intelligent entrepreneur and the son of Jim Cantrell, Collin may eventually be an owner of Vector. If you own NEXUS now, you may get to profit with their success.
Thank you so much for gathering first hand information regarding Nexus and Vector and sharing it with our Steemit community. I am very impressed with your tenaciousness in seeking interviews from direct contacts within this innovative company. It is amazing that they are projecting daily launches. I admire this entrepreneurial family and they accomplish revolutionary technological advancements that will benefit us on a global scale.

The difference is that Vector has customers lining up. With large missions like SpaceX and competitors, only large payloads get to choose where their mission goes. Vector focuses on providing dedicated launch vehicle to the individual microsatellite at any time the customer wants to go. They can customize mission requirements for each microsatellite. Nexus is technically just another customer, however the creator happens to be the son of the founder of Vector.
Wow so they basically are the smartest family on earth :D
Jim is very intelligent. I've watched videos of Jim and he is down to earth type of personality. I've worked with Jim's wife. She is a great person and very intelligent and likable. I watched videos on Colin and clearly he is on a whole different scale of intelligence. WOW. He has really grand goals too.

I’m excited that this family will change our future for the better. Colin wants to include internet communication on the satellites as well. That would de a huge leap forward.
Family science. I love the looks
Family Success too!
Oh look, more fairy tales for dumb investors to fall for.
Wake up and realize data is transferred through underground and underwater cables, but not from the magic space capsules so many people blindly believe in.
I am a huge believer in this progressive technology and invested in Nexus as a direct result of @socky so folks in the engineering sector can confirm the viability of both start up companies.
Thanks @senseicat. I'm glad that you have my back. I've worked in the industry so long, and I have had the opportunity to meet and work with the best experts in the business. When those people get hand selected to work at Vector, there is real reason to believe that it would be successful. Those aerospace experts don't just walk away from their career to work a brand new company for no reason at all.
What is your background? Any telecommunication, wireless communications, aerospace background? Jim Cantrell has 30 years in the Aerospace industry and was the cofounder of SpaceX. I've worked 12.5 years in the Aerospace industry. What is your reason for calling this magic?
I've also worked 6 years in the Marine Corps on the Harrier aircraft. I was electrical and communications technician. I frequently worked on radar warning systems to warn pilots and to deploy countermeasures to avoid radar guided missiles. It is not magic.
My background is in researching until I find truth myself, not listening to my authorities tell me what's true and not, like what marines do. The reason I say magic is because it's simply not possible to send something up high enough to where it doesn't come down and just floats around. This nonsense idea is so absurd when you use critical thinking and research, instead of blindly believing your superiors.
And no, cell phones do not work by magic, they use things called cell towers and radio frequency.
I'm just trying to help you awaken and become free from the lies. But it sounds like you have too much of your time invested in them to see otherwise. I hope one day you wake up and do the required research on your own; I'm sure you'll come to the same conclusion as I have. Do you ever wonder why after 12.5 years in that industry you still have never seen an actual photograph of an orbiting space satellite, or have any proof of how they get up there? Wouldn't it be nice to see just one real and unedited video of a rocket sending up and satellite to orbit in space?
I'm surprised that living in Lake Elsinore, California, you haven't looked outside lately. You live right there. You like doing research? I'll give you a research assignment. All you have to do is look West towards Vandenberg Air Force Base. Here is the schedule so you can see for yourself. You don't need a video to throw conspiracy theories at. Use your own eyeballs. http://www.spacearchive.info/vafbsked.htm
Satellites stay in space due to centrifugal force. They don't just float. Tie a rock to a string and spin it around. The rock doesn't fall to the ground. Centrifugal force pulls that rock away from the center. Those satellites are moving around ~17 thousand miles per hour. At that kind of speed centrifugal force matches the gravitational force and the satellite stays in orbit. No air in space means no friction to slow it down. This is how orbit works. If it didn't work that way, the moon would crash right into the earth. Go ahead and take a picture of an object the size of a computer that is miles away and traveling 17 thousand miles per hour.
You probably think cell phones work by magic too.
I agree with you. Thank you so much for gathering 1st hand information sharing it with our Steemit community. Resteem done.
Thank you for your support and resteem
