""Erm... that would be thirty six million horsepower steam engine!""

Oh, my. How do I get to test drive that beauty.

The steam engine, gives all of its power all of the time.
Opening the throttle only make it come out faster that's all.

I LOVE steam engines.

Er, Greg. That "fuel" mix, (and others of a similar composition), is known to me, for other, more military uses. The Orbiters engines are good, but the SRB's are very dangerous things.

And the Drag strip boys reckon a bit of Nitro-Methane is bang juice. Ha, it is to laugh.
