>They have a production line to build these things. They’ll roll out the next one and try again.

Yep. to be more specific, they have 6 more ships built and 5 under construction. Engines are being produced one per day. The scale of manufacturing is stupefying.

One. Per. Day?? That’s pretty wild.

They claim to be able to scale up to 4/day with the current factories. Obviously a bold handwavy claim , but people said that 1/Day.

I have to imagine 350 engines/yr is more than enough for now, even if the FAA has permitted up to 20 launches per year.

Like I said, the whole scale is staggering.

Yes, and not to diminish it in any way, but keep in mind that they need 33 of them per.
