Comment Re:Quit crippling SpaceX (Score 1) 43

Biden's DOJ is suing SpaceX for not hiring Chinese national who does not have green card or pass security check. Meanwhile SpaceX have to comply with ITART munition export regulation enforced by State Department. Yes, SpaceX rockets are technically ICBM capable of delivering nuclear warhead to anywhere on Earth, so it falls into ITAR. If SpaceX does what DOJ wants, they'll be in violation of ITAR and subject to significant sanction from DOS.

Comment Re:It's all about the engine (Score 1) 43

BE-4 and Raptor are doing different engine philosophy. Raptor engine is going with their usual smaller size engine but has very hot and very high pressure in the combustion chamber which allows them to use many engines in tandem. Blue Origin went the other direction of having very large combustion chamber ala F1 engine of Saturn rocket.
