>McCain: 'Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country"
americans have no shame
it is not a bad thing in this case
they are good engines, almost as good as american ones
So a multinational effort to get into space is dumb?
What cold-war-ass thought process is going on in Finland.

Fuck the RD-180 Merlin engine is better. Fuck close cycle I'm a based engineer.

RD-180 is a pretty good engine
Can't wait for Raptor engine though, should be sick if it works as intended

Should clarify that that's the one that's supposed to collect methane on Mars for the return flight

they had 30 similar to those connected in parallel to be fired at once and balanced to fire electronically computer controlled for balance

Owner has American citizenship and due to the fact that they are defense contractor just about every engineer and related employee has to be American. Plus all their facilities are in the US.
I know you're that Russian Finn and you're trying to find a reason to say it's not American, but it is. You're not going to find any valid way to argue against that. In any event Elon Musk did his university education in the US and has spent most of his life here.
We need to work together to send Muslims to Mars. Muslims could never escape the red planet. Let's make the Earth great again.

But they did go to the moon, several times actually.
