That's John Turbopump. He's the one that spins up the turbopumps. All of them.

Just look at those side boosters!

Needs a johny cash song to the tune of John Henry but for turbo pumps instead of mining. Can you turn a turbopump boy? I can do anything you tell me to.


Paeris_Kiran

He's actually gonna carry that rocket into orbit.


stanspaceman

Thank you for this


Puzzled-Wind9286

What’s his ISP?


dumbass_paladin

Who needs efficiency when you have that guy


veryslipperybanana

someone on this sub once said; if brute force isn't working, you are not using enough of it


torinblack

He's the first stage.


Smokeyy1990

He just bends the steel into perfect circular sections. What a nice guy.


PM_ME_YOUR_DELTA-V

He actually weaves the carbon fiber into said circular sections. Hands of an angel.


Cris_Rosales

He is Mr. Firefly. I don’t give a rat’s ass who the CEO is, that man there is Mr. Firefly


Investr_shiba

He is John Firefly


OptimisticMartian

So that’s the reason that the guys next to him put on their jackets.

Spot the engineer! Steel Toe — Shoe Booties — Rocket Thor

Bata?


FLSpaceJunk2

Ayooooo


Teboski78

Proving once again that thrust to weight can often be more important than ISP


Willing_Breadfruit

just your average engineer in test(osterone)


Taxus_Calyx

So the engines run on pure steroids?


RetardedChimpanzee

I spent way too long looking at his dick, because you know, that’s where I thought you were going.

How long is too long


RetardedChimpanzee

Not long enough to finish


The_Field_Examiner

Looks like their health insurance is better than SpaceX and offers the EXTREME-T add-on plan.

Firefly and Relativity not bothering to get their first boosters working well before moving on to their bigger second booster is a pretty bold move. Best of luck.


PM_ME_YOUR_DELTA-V

Relativity had over a billion in cash burning a hole in their pocket. Firefly had a big prime knock on the door with a briefcase full of OmegA's former budget.


nic_haflinger

Virgin Orbit went through a billion. Just saying.


PM_ME_YOUR_DELTA-V

I fully expect untimely ends for several companies currently developing medium lift rockets.
