I’m curious as to why the community name is still in English, rather than something like “Gemeinschaftsförderung”.

A bit more spaceflight than astronomy, but I enjoy Main Engine Cut Off by Anthony Colangelo. Roughly half an hour of spaceflight news/updates, a couple times a month.
Maybe at least now the discussions can happen there instead?

Name: Liquid rocket engine
Model: Full flow rocket engine (under development)
Propellant: Liquid oxygen methane
Performance perameters: vacuum thrust 200 tons, combustion chamber pressure 18MPa; vacuum specific impulse 341s, diameter 2 meters, height about 4 meters.
Rocket model: Under development
Research Unit: China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Sixth Academy
Sounds remarkably similar to another methalox engine…
2·22 hours agoParaphrased from u/Jodo42 in The Other Place:
Step 1: Eric Berger reports something will happen in spaceflight before other organizations. (You are here)
Step 2: “Berger is a liar and a d*ckrider, this is nonsense”
Step 3: Government organization confirms they are “considering their options”; meltdown begins.
Step 4: Government organization makes the only sensible decision. It’s all Elon’s fault.
We will just have to wait and see what happens. The next four years will be… interesting, to say the least.

Yeah, for some reason they separated all the Long Marches but lumped together Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and Starship.
The x-axis is the number of individual launches, which they seem to have truncated at 15. No rocket could possibly launch more frequently than that, right?
