It is a masterpiece of engineering, the sound suppression system. It is underrated but it is key for a rocket to not RUD itself at launch. It takes the sound of a rocket which could kill anything close to the rocket at launch and its stop by the state of art sound suppression.






Also btw the sound suppression system is just a water hose lol.

I've been watching for a while -- actually started watching you for the KSP videos, but only today I realized this is legitimately my favorite media (of any kind, from any source) every week. I would legitimately watch a half hour weekly show by you simply about random spaceflight history. Thank you so much for all you do.
