        More physics than I had ;-) -- nm - JD Sep 4, 18:37
      - In looking at other pics, I think the left engine is the standard Raptor. The Merlin bell isn't as tall as a person. So 27 of the engines on the left - TWuG Sep 4, 18:16

    - If you donate. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 4, 18:24
    - I think people in this thread are being tight lipped because they want us to freak out and open our wallets. It's pretty much just Rasmussen that's - con_carne Sep 4, 17:29 2
      - If you think my overriding message has been "freak out", I definitely need to work on my wording. -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 17:33
