amazing..omg..hope … amazing..omg..hope u guys keep working on it.
one day we’ll hit mars.or other planet in which we can live on.
Strive her for humanity.
I don’t think John … I don’t think John Carmack has to worry about getting his money back…he basically invented first person shooters. His gaming company has sold millions upon millions of copies of games since the 80’s…he’s simply putting it back into science man!
Why do you wish to … Why do you wish to discourage people that might show us how we have been doing it wrong? 20 mil might go a long way in the right hands….. I can only hope if any beings got a glimpse at carl sagan’s voyager plaques that they come back in 20 years because if they came around recently they surely saw us as idiots.
the point isn’t to … the point isn’t to pay for the entire moon trip, it is to get start-ups going and basically get big investors to fund companies because they will get most of their money bakc, plus have gone to the moon (with a robot)
Biprop. Look at … Biprop. Look at the lines at 00:10, two of them. One for Ox, one for Fuel. Not a very clean startup (or shutdown), must be a development test for the injector (guessing). Also, HTP monoprop exhaust species are H2O and O, no flame. Likewise, N2H4 monoprop engines run clear, no visible flame. Biprops do give a much prettier plume. And higher Isp. (aside: motor refers to solid propellants. engine refers to liquid propellants) And yes, you are correct that HTP can be quite quite nasty.
Pretty sure this is … Pretty sure this is a mono-prop motor. One tank instead of two, and non-cryogenic. Big advantage over two cryo-tanks. Biggest drawback is storing high test H2O2. It can be nasty stuff.
Advantage of … Advantage of liquids at all? Or over cryogenic fuel? Liquid hydrogen is hard to store. That in some instances prevents its use, or makes it less attractive. Smaller craft, long storage, lower technical ability, etc.
Liquids as a whole are much more efficient than solids. They are often the better choice. But not always the best. All three: solids, hybrids, and liquids have a place and time where they are best.
Send back some HDTV … Send back some HDTV video from the moon; go ahead and win the Google Lunar X-Prize. $20 million is just sitting there waiting for you.
Yeah alcohol and … Yeah alcohol and the O’s. Not sure how reliable cryogenic O2 is going to be for use on the moon or after long storage – they may have to go with more funky mixes at some point, no more pretty flames

$20 million ?? is not enough … they can pay more , and the mission to the moon probably ll’ cost more that $20 million.
this is just Google propaganda .

What’s the advantage of using this kind of fuel besides the pretty flames? Looks really powerful, but does it weigh more?
