BE-4 test firing
Blue Origin just sent a jolt through the aerospace industry "As Joe Biden would say, this is a BFD for the space industry." ERIC BERGER - 10/19/2017, 3:31 PM https://arstechnica.com/science/2017...-successfully- tested-its-powerful-be-4-rocket-engine/ tiny url for above link: https://tinyurl.com/y73ufpp6 This is yet another game changer in the US launch industry. LOX/methane oxygen rich staged combustion engine. This engine is a good compromise between LOX/kerosene and LOX/LH2. Plus LOX/methane has the added bonus that you can make it on Mars from the CO2 in the atmosphere (if you bring your own hydrogen with you).
