>Anyone know how the mass stacks up though? I haven't been able to find that yet, but even if significantly worse this may still have an important big upcoming space. In the upcoming Starship era, economics is going to play a historically huge new role in space, just as it does in Starship itself where many of the design and material decisions are optimized around cost and simplicity, even at some performance penalty, vs the old space total focus on perf. A drive that performs worse, but is much easier and cheap, could be useful alongside the others in some roles when you can throw 100+ tons at a problem at <$200/kg to LEO, or even <$100/kg.
