RATLOG - Building reusable heavy-lift rockets
RATLOG · Oct 2026 · 1:00 · AI-annotated · YC Fall 2026
A founder-led pitch video that intercuts talking-head shots in a hangar lot and workshop with big stat cards and 3D space renders, all cut to a steady ~129 bpm pulse. Signature moves: a locked wordmark over fire footage, slashed-zero display numbers scaling in over live action, and monospace lower-third captions carried through every beat.
