It's free rocket engines.

So maybe they're from the 1960s. So maybe there's nobody around who worked on them. So maybe they're from a rocket that blew up every time it tried to launch.

They were literally sitting in a barn. Complete rocket engines. Big, powerful, high-efficiency ones. Like, 60 of them.

That makes people's fingers itch.

In retrospect, understanding that THESE were the engines Kistler wanted to use for their *reusable* rocket, it's no wonder that they went out of business before building anything.
