How to send 1000 space science down to planet at a time?
I dont want a constand stream of droppods send to planet every few seconds. So how can i lets say 1000 science drop down in a single cargodrop?

you need extend cargo bays.
I place 82 on land
20 on space platform

I cant wait until i have a stack of 1000 at the spaceplatform and send it down into a single drop-pod? i mean, can set limits for the rockets send to space.

You can change the limit per rocket for each item on space platform.

This was supposed to have been improved by version 2.0.25, but that hasn't been released as stable (the latest stable is 2.0.23). What version are you using?

i believe it is possible to automatically request white science via combinator-magic.
this means that you could set up combinators with a delay, so that they will only activate the science-packrequests for one second every minute. that should massively lower the traffic of white science rockets

Assuming you don't want to use mods to chante stack size (mods affects achivments and iirc you don't get steam achievements), you do realise you should be creating more space platforms?

Trupen just created one or his daily joke video that shows how easily you can farm the white science pack with moving

And jokes aside, all you need is a platform that you don’t move, ot just collect random chuncks. And if you create mutipled, each will have their own field. So you increase how many are produced.

Add to the landing pod a limit how many you want, because you will produce tons of them.

Anything else, like science from a different planet, again, create their own

Best part is the following: create launching bays just for the science pack (ti ensure your "main" aren't affected/usee), feed them via inserts, aka the "automatically" is turned off. For the "transport" space ship, add the request for 1000 (or more). Like this, that launching bay will send the patch automatically.

Send them back and back. Don't bother with efficiency, or min max. As long as they safely can go, don't give them any other task.

Add circuits to ensure they let you know if there is issue with flue, ammo, or power (just attack to an accumulator and set something like A < 10)
