Interesting powerpoint from a couple years ago of setting off methane/oxygen detonations to better characterize what a bad day on a methane rocket would look like. I guess SpaceX has somewhat preempted the research at this point though.

at what point does a meatball become a meatloaf like if it’s a size thing then technically I could make a 3lb meatball as long as it’s spherical it’s a meatball but if squared it, it would be meatloaf but say you had 1 oz and made it square would that be meatloaf or meatball?

Our manufacturing processes allow us to pick our metal alloys based on properties, not manufacturability.
This gives our thrusters lower heat signatures making spacecraft harder to detect through thermal imaging, perfect for missions requiring stealth.
