The first full-flow staged combustion engine in history. Still waiting to fly on the UR-700 I was promised. Parody/not affiliated with Energomash. Gay? He/Him.

@KenKirtland17 IIRC, that's been the planned direction for a while.

[RD-270 (Marcus) @rd_270]

@KenKirtland17 @AstroAlex04 I think you would also have to redesign the payload adapter on FH. It looks like the current beefiest version tops out at 26.5 tons.

Oh, I'm sure this company that I got hired to do an event at isn't evil, I'mma look them up.

...

Fucking yikes.

[RD-270 (Marcus) @rd_270]

@Orbital_Perigee There is a non-zero chance it beat out N1-5L, which didn't consume all of the propellant in the initial blast. We'll just have to wait and see.

Blue Origin's New Glenn just blew up at LC-36 while attempting to Static Fire ahead of NG-4.

If people are using "biggest non nuclear explosion" when discussing your work, you've probably made a significant Mistake™️

[RD-270 (Marcus) @rd_270]

@PhazzeeYeehaw @Orbital_Perigee So long as The Incident™ isn't repeated, we're good.

@ThePrimalDino @BellikOzan You have become the new spaceflight harbinger of doom.

@Tygget They didn't need those souls, did they?

[RD-270 (Marcus) @rd_270]

@Tygget I think they may be a bit slow. This thing may not come down exactly where they want.

@WLR_2678 What the fuck is glowing?

[RD-270 (Marcus) @rd_270]

That's a lot of dead engines

[RD-270 (Marcus) @rd_270]

Now is a good time to remind people to go check out @TheSojournHQ. They are building a damn fine sci-fi world over there, and the fact that they just added the space equivalent of a weaponized Toyota Hilux is just icing on the cake.

I am not drawing yuri of them, stop asking 🥀

[RD-270 (Marcus) @rd_270]

@altphazzee I hate the fact that it's easier to lengthen a paper than to shorten it.

[RD-270 (Marcus) @rd_270]

@Orbital_Perigee I, too, like using beer kegs as engines.

@altphazzee You should. That said, I will be stealing all of these.
