Eh, how does it and why would dropping it from 50,000 feet in our atmosphere give you a better appreciation of it?

Well since this is a launch vehicle being designed for orbital space launches. I don't see the relevance of comparing it to a commercial jet. Plus I believe there engine system runs off LOX and methanol. I wouldn't call that a fake engine either mate... I don't know which engine is being used in this video but there 8" LOX/meth. engine is expected to produce up 20,000 lbs of thrust. Much more then a planes engine of similar size!

@sodia1 yes planes do have their efficiency but not in the vacuum of outer space and that's what this thing's designed for!

@hamzooKLR How can it be 'unidentified' when we know what it is?
-
sooo f-ing sweet....
-
That looks awfully dangerous.

Impressive.
It is like balancing a rocket on top of a parabola. The rocket orientation must be kept upright within a certain tolerance.
What solutions will be implimented too correct the rocket when it exceeds 30% from straight up?
-
simply use retractable landing pods...

Don't forget, this is working in 1 G Earth-gravity at sea-level. It only has to work 1/6th G in the Lunar vicinity.

Impressive! :)

This is cool its the first new technology lander to even come close to the 1960`s LLV test vehicle for the original Apollo lunar module problems are to much thrust rake under vehicle too much noise not enough control looks like it could be lost pretty quick needs much better landing soft and much much more docile control in flight it doesnt look very controllable or safe for human passengers etc.

Needs shock absorber landing struts

Unidentified flying object = UFO
this is a IFO identified flying object

better way is to say trust... and not to transform it
This is an Texel Module from Armadillo Aerospace
