I wonder if you could keep a fuel line attached and keep refuelling until it cleared the tower when the line would detach?

- rowathay 5y agoIf you could pump 200 tons of propellant in ten seconds, sure.
- jcims 5y agoJust did some quick stubby pencil work, a 2 foot diameter pipe would have to be pumping the propellant at around 70 mph in order to move that much liquid. Just the lateral deceleration of the liquid slowing down in the tank would probably provide a couple tons of thrust.
