testing regime?
Anyways, yeah it's really cool how SpaceX apparently deliberately optimized for thrust/area. The raptor is larger than the merlin but it's more taller than wider. Does any other engine have the lox pump directly above the injection plate?

you have to get to a field early or revolutionize it in some way. Musk has done one or both of these with all of his post-paypal companies

Jim was pretty smart with the Artemis Accords.

>A fucking Falcon 9 has more thrust than the SLS core stage
that's just sad

>thrust per area
I love how SpaceX considered this in their Raptor design by making it mostly taller instead of wider compared to the merlin. As a result of this the merlin has better T/W but the Raptor probably has better thrust/area.
