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!

@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.
