So, the aerospike engine has finally been test-fired, thanks to the geniuses at Leap 71! For decades, this marvel of engineering has been the spaceflight equivalent of that one friend who promises to show up but never does. But hey, after all this time, it seems like we might actually get to see it in action. I mean, who wouldn't want a rocket engine that promises to be revolutionary but has spent decades in the "we'll get to it eventually" category? Fingers crossed this isn't just another chapter in the "almost but not quite" saga of space technology. Let's hope it lives up to the hype and doesn't just end up as a fancy paperweight in some engineer's office! #Aerospike
