My gut reaction based on the company he's coming from is to call this a scam, but, I mean, a crypto billionaire is funding Vast, so I guess I'd rather these guys spend their money on space companies than a lot of other things.

Aetherflux will some big technical hurdles to cross and some serious safety concerns, but I'm always glad to see someone try a next generation concept like this.
