Awesome, as always. Jelous desu. Americans brought humanity into the Space Age and you still continue to show how it's done.

It will be capable of sending over 30 tons to Mars.
Over 8 tons to Jupiter, and close to 150 tons to low earth orbit.
Kevin Sanders
will it explode after launch like ALL the latest US rockets?

How?

New Glenn is also quite large

Is it an interpolanetary rocket? I'm sceptical about "durrr, Mars colonization" because nobody has got any technologies for that yet. It is an investment in future that NASA can afford but how distant future? I would hope that we don't make something like this but our leaders love impractical tings.

>nobody has got any technologies for that yet.
Most of it exists. The rest is being developed right now
Nathaniel Brooks
That's a big rocket
Lucas Myers
I thought SpaceX proved that the important thing is being able to land the rocket.

European rockets celebrate easter

This makes sense for low earth orbit rockets that go up frequently.
Big rockets that go to Mars and other places for the first time is whole other thing.

The most important things like terraforming?
Colton Bailey
Build a Mars colony already.
Joshua Perez
NTR when.
Jayden Parker
If you can land the booster you can refuel in space though.
Christian Gray
It's a big rocket. Though getting into orbit is the least of the problems if you want to send people to Mars. It'll also need multiple rocket trips to the ISS to start with anyway.
Anthony Sullivan
Soon.
Adam Russell
Hasn't that been "soon" for fifteen years?
Samuel Moore
i still liked the Orion that dropped nukes below the spacecraft and rode on the blast wave better.
David Kelly
Yes that's the joke. Though they are making progress, and have had investment from BAE, the European space agency and the UK government.
Christopher Nguyen
Will it even work?
Dylan Taylor
The SABRE engine will apparently work.

The Orion service module is based on the european ATV

CRISA is a spanish company, based in Madrid actually.

It's past a number of theoretically and other mechanically tests already. Otherwise the ESA or BAE wouldn't have invested money in it.
>In April 2015, the SABRE engine concept passed a theoretical feasibility review conducted by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory
Sebastian Sullivan
Why haven't the US tried it then?
Juan Gray
They can't try or invest in everything. And who knows, they could be developing something similar.
Matthew Cox
The whole thing is probably scuppered by Brexit anyway.
