Posted by Olog-hai on Fri May 29 15:08:13 2026, in response to Re: Blue Origin Anomaly, posted by AlM on Fri May 29 13:50:46 2026. Just to oversimplify: Rocket exhaust is a controlled chemical reaction, not an explosion, just like any combustion in any other heat engine. One does not control an explosion, because by definition, allowing a reaction to explode (destroy your engine, or, hopefully not, vehicle) is to relinquish control over it. (On the same token, the phrase "controlled explosion" is a different scenario, i.e. with respect to demolition or war.) |
