SpaceX should be doing a full 33 engine static fire next right?

You’re describing the Jarvis launcher from the 80’s

These engines would be $30 million apiece today. Not that bad when you consider that the engine on the Atlas V costs $25 Million.

It can’t be any worse than the SSME

The late 80s/Early 90s had a bunch of really cool shuttle derived ideas that actually were being pushed by the Air Force to launch big 40 ton satellites into LEO. They were also cost competitive with Titan and other launchers just because they actually reused shuttle components without cost plus retardation.

But I do wish we had more Sci fi about alternate history shuttle era. Pic related is another version of the Jarvis rocket from 1985 I think. This one had two F-1’s boosting a Kerolox shuttle external tank, and a second stage with a fattened up SIVb
