It's really a tragedy that 4 RS-25 space shuttle engines, marvels of engineering and fully reusable, are going into the drink tomorrow.
- bhk 4y agoThat's the best case scenario...
- bayesian_horse 4y agoThe bigger tragedy would be if they would never be used again. You wouldn't reuse them in anything designed from scratch, they are too inefficient. There isn't going to be a new space shuttle, especially not in the next decades. The shuttle had its run, but it's mostly a failed concept. It smacks, but it's the right decision.
