RIP Grant.  You were a hard working Myth Buster, and you are missed.

Exactly. The amount of potential energy stored in a 55l tank @ 6000 PSI is enormous. Just be grateful that if anything should happen you’d likely be turned into a pink mist before your brain has a chance to register any pain.

Now, just for the record, this is not something that Elon was the first to dream up; the idea of rocket thrusters on non-rockets isn’t exactly new. Bosch demonstrated a thruster-assist for motorcycles in 2018, and I myself proposed the idea back in 2012, though both of these concepts were more about using them as…

I’m glad the cruise industry never got a bailout this past 1.5 years.
