Sounds good but...

Is this Marketing Hype?

It's easy to film a spectacular ground test of an engine. More difficult to demo0nstrate that it can lift itself, let alone an adequate payload.

Unfortunately, in the space business, it's the LAST 1% or 0.5% that counts.

Near enough is NOT good enough and there have been many technical and commercial failures in the last 50 years.
