Default 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."

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).
