That's very true, but "efficient" isn't usually an adjective thrown at a rocket.

- rektide 3y agoUhhh I feel like rocket makers are obsessed with efficiency. A modest half a percent makes a huge difference in fuel fraction & lift capabilities. Rockets may be broadly inefficient but they are as efficient as we can make them.
- MilStdJunkie 3y agoI understand. They're the only orbital game in town, and will be until <INSERT_PET_FUTURISTIC_THINGY>. I guess what I'm, saying, it's more that "efficient" isn't a word that pops up in your head when you imagine "rocket". It's like a demure Dodge Hellcat owner, or a contemplative WWE star.
