- rplnt 12y agoSo now we know why it won't land. There is no way to get it back up. I'm assuming this is the only rocket capable of doing so and the ban by Russia to use the engine for military missions is enforceable.
- jacquesm 12y agoYou make an interesting point but there is a 2 year supply of engines already shipped so the ban will not have much immediate effect, and they are planning a transition to US only produced engines.
