I don't think people realize how insane it is that Stoke Space manged to make a Full-flow staged combustion cycle engine in less than 18 months with a team of less than 10 people, crazy speed and efficiency.
Starship made a controlled reentry, successfully making it through the phases of peak heating and max aerodynamic pressure and demonstrating the ability to control the vehicle using its flaps while descending through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds
Level up ⬆️
@NASA has achieved a new benchmark in developing an innovative propulsion system! Engineers at #NASAMarshall successfully tested a 3D-printed Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine for 251 seconds, producing over 5,800 pounds of thrust.
