  • They can move aircraft carriers with airplane propellers (steering it left or right)

  • @JackPodyDK why do say that? Its an awful lot of thrust!!!

  • @jhmoonman Are you serious or is it a joke?

  • Why can't someone answer me?

  • Correction,facing eastward !(sorry)

  • I read somewhere the earth is slowing down,it's spin,on it's axis! Could this rocket be tested facing westward ,when testing,n could it help speed the earth back to its normal rotational spin!

  • An american copy of the NK-33 is going to be one badass rocket engine! I don't think we (us) built this type of engine in the past and it seems to be a promising design. Thanks USSR/ Russia!

  • I bet that still wouldn't be enough to light my bloody BBQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @blablubb12345 Not bad indeed, that motor has the highest thrust-to-weight ratio of any first-stage engine ever built...

  • Not bad for an almost 40 year old piece of hardware. Russian NK-33 engine, originally built for the N1 moon rocket.
