This engine looks rad in the test at the space center. These commenters had some intetesting input.
Commenter Raoul Duke says:
It cranks out at sea level 204,402 Lbf. And they even tried to squeeze one into a blackbird SR71 but apparently the progect was scraped in about 1999. It was designed to power nasa’s Venturestar but that was scrapped too. Atleast this is what they tell the public.
Commenter Barrel Roll says:
It flew on an sr71 to do cold flow testing. That research in the late 90s combined with Rocketdyne research for the Apollo program led to this engine design. They had the option to fire it but never did. Look up LASRE project. Probably the last flights of any SR-71a and b other than for donation or storage.
We hope you enjoy the video and look forward to more from NASA

Amazing engine segment, perhaps the full thing is built full circle
This is actually ancient technology that has been trickled down to mankind to help give space travel a boost. The next century will bring many new advances in technology and space travel will be as easy as taking a plane somewhere. Technology can be a very dangerous endeavor, that’s why it is trickled down rather than given as a whole, mankind is still in its infant stage compared to others. On day mankind will have access to propulsion technology that will allow galaxy travel, traveling to different galaxies will be very easy. One such propulsion system is the neutron drive, imagine harnessing the power of a super nova and using that to propel a craft through space at incomprehensible speeds. Not only that but being able to form a black hole and using it to travel through time itself.

Brandon Flint like I said, humanity is still in its infancy, your not expected to understand. It would be like handing a newborn baby Albert Einsteins equations and asking it to decipher them all, it would be impossible.

Pretty sweet but still ” primative” i feel like magnetics is the purpulsion of the future..
CHECK THESE ENGINES OUT! AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM. YEAH I KNOW THERE ARE DIVERSE SCIENTIST INVOLVED BUT I BET THEY LIVE IN AMERICA NOW, OR ISRAEL.

Makes me wonder how people are shocked, literally and not literally

How bout something new. Seen this come across the feed 40 million times xD
If light is pure energy then that’s a whole lot of wasted energy…
