Re: Most powerful rocket ever attempts launch early Monday morning
My son and I watched it live. That was something! It's a shame they lost Starship and there was no separation. Ugh. But hey it's two steps forward and one back, not the other way 'round, right?

Let's do the math. Assume 33 T5 Volvo engines with tune for 500 HP (over boost for short period) equals 16,500 HP total. Maybe not enough to launch straight up, but great fun to launch sideways.
