Did you read the comments? Boy more heat there than at the end of the rocket's nozzle.

Yes a bit heated in the comments.
With 22 million HP it should speed up earths rotation LOL

Maybe the Coyote can get one and finally catch that pesky RoadRunner ;)

Back on topic, that's one sweet rocket :)

Awesome firepower

Decent sort of test firing...somehow I don't think the comments below were too relevant to the topic at hand. These sorts of posts (especially ones about aircraft) seem to attract the basest of comments from fools that just want to hear themselves rant.
