The Saturn V and the Titan ICBMs are peak high water marks of hydrocarbon fuel power. 5 million pounds of thrust on the Titan and 7.7 million on the Saturn running on liquid oxygen and RP-1, which is quadruple filtered and distilled ultra low sulfur kerosene. Absolute BEASTS. Other near-peer countries who want to use liquid fuel rockets for their space programs are stuck with incredibly toxic, carcinogenic, and explosive hypergolic propellants because they do not have the technology to protect the nozzles from melting upon the tremendous heat of a hydrocarbon fueled engine. The F-1 and RS-25 nozzles are not just ordinary old nozzles. They are comprised of thousands of loops of steel piping where pressurized non-oxygenated fuel is pumped through before reaching the mixing chamber. The constant flow of this liquid through these loops act as a refrigerant, keeping the nozzles cool and at the same time, superheating the fuel circulating through them to the point that when it goes back up into the engine module and reaches the mixing chamber and combines with the liquid oxygen coming out the other side, the jet of liquid going into the combustion chamber is already supersonic. That is why these engine nozzles look like they have ribs. These ribs are in fact, thousands of coils of piping forming into the shape of a cone. While the exhaust trail of these engines under full throttle can reach over 7000°F, the outer surface of the nozzles are actually FREEZING. Absolutely insane level of technology and engineering.

This is where the beauty of the design lies too. The actual diagrams and paper layouts of how it all works and the dimensions of the parts required are pretty much open source material. They are available to anyone who is even remotely interested in rocket tech and does some simple searching. HOWEVER, the workmanship, purity of metals and precision required to build each and every one of the millions of components need to be 100% on point, or they will CATASTROPHICALLY fail during the firing sequence. Every millionth of a millimeter on those miles of tubing that make up the cooling and injection system must be 100% pure and contain an even carbon/alloy content. Otherwise, a single leak during firing due to a weakened microscopic portion on a tube will cause temperatures in that region to instantly reach melting point, which then causes the other regions to melt and leak, and so on, until the entire fuel injection system is destroyed and millions of gallons of volatile fuel and LOX is dumped out of the rocket at once in a flaming cataclysm of destruction. This level of perfection in building these components are unattainable in other countries. It requires absolute skill as well as worker morale and vision/hearing/all other senses of the workers to be at near peak in order to immediately detect and respond to the smallest mistakes that may occur during the manufacturing process. You cannot get this pool of workers in a conscript economy where morale is at the lowest, everybody who is there do not want to be there and are suffering some form of chronic ailments due to a lifetime of near starvation diets, and merit/leadership is based on loyalty to the party and not skill.

It is just like the atomic bomb. A basic gun-type fission device is the crudest of all functional nuclear weapons and the theory behind it is absolutely simple. However, enriching and processing the ore into fission, and then weapons grade fuel requires chemicals and facilities only national effort can produce. That is why we are far more concerned about terrorists getting access to a store of enriched weapons grade fuel, rather than them getting the mere blueprints of a fission device.

The US is losing these skills and the sense of purpose to make this posssible.

We will soon be brought to the LCD status the world will settle at.

That isn't too hard to understand the parts. Best part is at the bottom.

What if I told you that this was all planned. Even to the extent of this epic “failure” to get you to root for what is coming up next? We will see our enemies punished, to fool us to accept the real problem makers. Think about it. Why would it be in the media if they didn’t want us to think in a certain direction. Largest psyop in human history. Front row seats to the apocalypse.

Probably going to be like every other suit. Initial liability is advertised as insane number. Trial finishes. Damages are reduced to a few billion. Politicians & media grandstand like justice was done. Pfizer walks out keeping 99.99999% of their money. Everyone keeps their bribes that were given to perpetuate the fraud in the first place.

A few years later the whole machine starts up again and people are too stupid to remember the previous corruption and lawsuit, as seen in the COVID era when people got Pfizer tattoos right after Pfizer paid the largest every settlement for fraud.

EDIT: I forgot the best part. The money paid goes directly into the governments pocket.

Phizer is just a name. A couple minor sacrificial lambs, a couple “Epsteined” and “Clintoncides”, a messy bankruptcy where the lawyers make millions and carry on, business as usual. The smart leader would make those responsible fight each other in an arena for the prize of not dying that day. I wouldn’t shed a tear.

That infamous o-ring joint was in the SRB (solid rocket booster), a comparatively simple device. The SRB was designed by a different generation of engineers, managed by incompetent greed-bags, and the result was predictable.

so if by "dump" the fbi didn't mean hunter's laptop, what other "dump" were they referring to specifically?
we know they knew the laptop was going public...

After Zuckerberg revelation, FBI says it routinely warns social media about 'malign influence'

The FBI said it cannot ask or direct companies to act in response to information on potential threats
justthenews.com justthenews.com

Reflecting on Facebook's decision on the story, which broke weeks before the 2020 election, Zuckerberg said the FBI told his company to "be on high alert" and that an information dump similar to the Russian propaganda seen during the 2016 election would happen soon.

There was a documentary on this whole affair. The main Engineer was literally jumping up and down screaming, begging the bureaucrats not to launch. He was overruled. He knew without any doubt, exactly what was going to happen. Then, he had to watch it come to it’s terrible conclusion right in front of him.

As I recall, he was crying during the documentary interview. Think it came out that he was close to being suicidal over it.

The “I told you so” thing doesn’t help him sleep any better or reduce the resentment and hate he will have for the people that made the poor decisions.
