Armadillo Aerospace Resurrected On Kickstarter By the Team Members
savuporo writes: Team members from John Carmack's defunct suborbital rocket company, Armadillo Aerospace, have re-launched the suborbital rocket project now as Exos Aerospace through a Kickstarter campaign.

Carmack, while not involved, says their core is "arguably the most competent in suborbital alt-space."
There are multiple other small launcher startups springing up again across the globe — Rocket Labs recently unveiled their new engines, Firefly is making progress, and Lin Industrial also announced their rocket recently. -
