[@papa.mike01]

SpaceX will always improve all systems as long as it is a business. The reason you don’t see NASA, a government entity, continue to improve is that they contract out to a company to make a system to meet a certain specification. That’s why NASA’s SLS is using Space Shuttle engines.

[@harveywindbag9469]

I live 15 miles from the SpaceX test facility. We can literally feel their advances in their engines. Just about every day they do an engine test that we can hear and feel. It lasts from 30 to 60 seconds. At first it felt like a train going by in the distance. Over time, the sound and vibration has become stronger and stronger. We noticed one day that our widows started shaking and rattling. Then, later on this past year, our whole house started shaking with every test. Things started falling of the wall and off of shelves. We ran out of the house to locate the sound. It was like a jumbo jet taking off. But, when you go outside to orient yourself to the sound and vibration, it feels like it's coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It's a very unsettling feeling, until your brain kicks in and tells you, "Oh! It's just SpaceX. doing their thing again.". I told my wife that the new change in intensity was probably caused by their testing of a new version of the rocket engine. This video is confirmation of that.

[@alexanderbelov6892]

Thrust to weight ratio has nothing to do with sa goal of rocket engine development. The engine has to squeeze maximum of specific impulse from fuel. Then the engineer can calculate ratio of saved fuel to the engine mass. E.g. if you saved 5% of fuel that has 20t value, and you engine increased from 1t to 1.3t, you still have 20t/1.3t ratio you can be proud of.

The Raptor engines are developing at a rate of a new version each year. And one engine assembled per day. Star ship engines will also follow this trajectory. Older Raptor engine designs could easily be sold on the global market. Russia did very good business selling to the European market, before Putins folly in Ukraine.

"...Thrust Force.." is not a measurement unit, more 2 words with the sa.e meaning. Ton is a unit of weight, indicating the force applied to the Earth at Earth's surface gravitational aattraction.

Hello there 🤗 , just Wanted to ask why rocket's don't Use the atmospheric oxygen until they get higher, like it uses atmosphere oxygen until it's done it's first boost or something like that, I imagine it would be complicated to make the atmosphere pressurised enough for the fuel, just saying it might save on liquid oxygen weight and make more room for more cars 😜 or a vacation chamber for holidays 😅

[@Tony-om5kr]

This was attempted in the early 90's with the X-30 transatmospheric spaceplane that was to takeoff from a runway and achieve orbit. It used air ducted rockets (using condensed liquid air) to takeoff and accelerate to ramjet operation and then transition to scramjet operation at Mach 5-6 with variable geometry inlets. Material technology at the time was not capable and the transition from ramjet to scramjet operation proved to be too great a hurdle. In addition scramjet combustion efficiency was underwhelming. I suspect scramjet technology has improved since then but I haven't been in that business since 1992. IRC even if they had gotten all of the various engine modes and transitions to work, the payload to orbit would have been minuscule.

[@catocall7323]

Congratulations, you've now made an engine which replaces the weight of propellant with an even greater weight of all the extra hardware needed to use the atmosphere. It's also a very complex design that introduces even more points of failure. Normal rocket engines are already incredibly complex and full of possible failure points.
