I think it's also possible that a bad fuel grain slipped through whatever QA process they had. You might count that as insufficient ground testing, though. "Problems like these are almost always the result of management pushing th

I think they're a little newer than that, but that's a good point. Still, I'm not sure either engine was inadequately qualified. I'm not sure what constitutes adequate qualification, though. Both engines were ground test

My point is that they still fail. Both liquid and solid boosters are a lot more mature than hybrids, no doubt. But I'm not so sure that either is fundamentally more reliable. And for hybrids to mature, somebody has to use them. "L

Well, you want it to be a strong oxidizer, that's its purpose in the rocket. Strong oxidizers are almost universally hard to handle. About the nicest ones around are Lox, Nox and hydrogen peroxide.

Yes, the RS-25/SSMEs aren't "easily the most efficient rocket engines ever built". As noted below, there's NERVA.

>Yes, a small turbine-powered RC aircraft can easily have a higher thrust-to-weight ratio than a full-sized aircraft, but it's not thrust-to-weight ratio that determines top speed; it's thrust-to-drag ratio. And parasitic drag

What part doesn't scale? The only thing I can think of that might be a problem is the boundary layer thickness through the intake/diffuser.

My understanding that much of the legal work is donated so outreach seems like a reasonable expenditure, particularly if it increases revenues or brings in more donated legal work.

I believe Power has long been a bi-endian architecture. I gather it's a switch thrown (in either software or hardware) at startup.

That all depends on what rights are. If they're something that the government exists to protect, than the 9th Amendment can be construed to give the courts that latitude.
