Natural Science 301 Guidelines
This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.
As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Its about as tall, but a lot thicker. Its a lot heavier and its combined thrust is a lot greater.Last edited by Leonhard; 10-08-2018, 04:12 PM.

This was their original plan, but they've scaled it down a bit. This monster would have lifted seven times what a Saturn V could. The smaller version they're building required less extreme engines, and was doable in a shorter time frame.
You can also see the rockets that Jeff Bezos (owner of Amazon) is developing to compete with Falcon 9.
