Interesting, but nothing new. ANU developed an engine even more powerful and efficient than this one...actually Dr Diaz came out here to have a look at what we did and was amazed at both the engine and the shoestring budget we had to work with. Unfortunately, unlike the American effort, the effort out here doesn't get any funding from the government or business because they have their heads rammed firmly up their collective rear ends. ESA is actually helping ANU to develop the engine to flight testing with funding and some facilities in Europe.
