    Posting this here because it’s Tom Mueller and essentially a Falcon 9 third stage

    I’m curious about the market for this. I guess it’s basically every Falcon Heavy flight?

      Yeah, it really removes the centaur advantage. I’m actually sort of surprised SpaceX hasn’t done this in -house prior.

      It’s also a new methalox engine.
