SpaceX itself is going for larger, more powerful engines.

Let me add this tweet as well. At one point (2020), engine count was reduced to 28 "to simplify the configuration."

Back in 2019, Super Heavy was meant to have 35 engines. That number has now dropped to 29-32 engines. I assume that's a good thing. I'm assuming SpaceX isn't going backwards in technology. China's CZ-9 can deliver 150t to LEO with 16 engines, and no strap-on boosters at all. Think about...

For those that still don't understand the significance of the CZ-9 redesign. Allow me to direct your attention to the 16 YF135 engines that now power the first stage. The original strap-on boosters have been completely eliminated. Does this new engine cluster arrangement remind you of anything...

CZ-9 2021 edition (“21 版”).

The flimsy nature of a typical American home is fully exposed when a tornado sweeps through a Chicago suburb this month (June 2021) and the wooden houses shatter like a house of cards. The construction materials of an overpriced American home: weak wooden beams and thin sheets of plywood. The...

According to BROAD: 100% stainless steel structure. 1000+ year service life. Impressive. Meanwhile, young people in America are turning to "van life" and "minimalism" due to unaffordable housing costs and out of control inflation. Tens of millions of Indians are living in slums. But somehow...

Explainer: Tesla drops radar; is Autopilot system safe? June 2 (Reuters) - Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) has dropped radar sensors from its semi-autonomous driving system, Autopilot, raising concerns over the safety of the camera-only version, Tesla Vision. Tesla aims to make the driver-assist system...

As of 2021, there are over 10,000 different cryptocurrencies listed, with that number rising daily. With the exception of the gold-backed stablecoins, I'm guessing the vast majority of cryptocurrencies are worth absolutely nothing. But the dollar will certainly collapse — that much I agree with...

The GSO estimates per capita monthly income fell 2 percent from the previous year to VND4.2 million ($182), because of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the 2020 living standards survey conducted among 47,000 households nationwide by the General Statistic Office (GSO)...

It must be absolutely perplexing to Indians that despite having the "superior" democratic and free political system, THEY are the ones living with no indoor plumbing, no toilets, little to no electricity, open sewers, garbage everywhere, human bodies floating down the Ganges, and an...

Indians talk. Chinese BUILD. Using land reclamation, China has built arguably the world's largest man-made tourist resort island, spanning roughly 8 square kilometers (3 square miles), Ocean Flower Island is 1.4 times the size of Dubai’s famed Palm Jumeirah. I encourage the Western media to...

Ironic. Answer this one simple question. Did all 6 billion people in the world put a 25% tariff on China, or was it only the US?

Soon they will be accusing China of copying R2-D2 and BB-8 from Star Wars.

Of Apple's top 200 suppliers in 2020, 51 were based in China. I don't care if those 51 companies supplied $8.46 in parts or 84 cents; without those parts, you don't have a phone. And without the Chinese supply chain for cobalt sulfate and lithium-ion batteries, you definitely don't have a phone...

China continues to monopolize 50-60% of the world's concrete and continues to build — adding to what is already the world's largest expressway network. Indians, on the other hand, continue to do absolutely nothing while talking loudly on the internet. Everything below opens to traffic at the...

China's economic model is based on massive state-led investment in infrastructure and manufacturing. I suspect the U.S. is going to have a hard time "copying" China when basic commodities like copper and iron ore are at all-time highs; U.S. gas prices are over $3 a gallon; and even something as...

The Western media has been on an endless crusade to slander and denigrate anything and everything about China, so a single building started swaying and they jumped on the opportunity to write a hundred propaganda articles. Right on cue, the Indian lapdogs (slumdogs?) on this forum started...
