I've come to appreciate boring hotfires. Our BE-7 team recently completed a 2,500 second hotfire test at 10klbf on a development engine, setting the record for the longest-duration turbo pump-fed liquid rocket engine hotfire. This built on some of the most rigorous testing in the history of propulsion, with the previous record set by the RS-25 engine that powered the Space Shuttle. They recorded two 2,017 second tests in 1988. It's not lost on us that we're following a path those engineers blazed, and we're grateful for it. Grab the popcorn and enjoy watching 41 minutes of hotfire goodness.

With rocket engines, boring is good. To that end, please enjoy this 1,030-second (17+ min!) BE-7 engine burn. This test represents the Apogee Raise Maneuver or ARM burn for our Blue Moon Mark 1 Lunar lander, plus margin, the longest burn required by the mission to reach the Moon. You may have noticed that the engine for this test does not have a nozzle. BE‑7 is tested in both vacuum and atmospheric conditions. This test was at  GEEx—our atmospheric test position in West Texas.

@ErasTourResell This is like the only one we can afford to go to and it would be an absolute dream come true. I know we have all been fighting for our lives for these tickets but and I’m just glad these two will get to go to some real fans.

[Taylor Hodes @TaylorAH2000]

@ErasTourResell I’m so interested. I’ve been looking for tickets for me and my bf for so long but just can’t afford the resale site prices. We are both students and can’t afford those outrageous prices and my luck with tm has been so bad. I’ve been a swifty since fearless

@aprilglick @ErasTourResell @diannashIey I’ll take the other two lol!!
