I think that went into service in 1994.

I think it started its development in the late 70s.

You're telling me that all of a sudden after 1994, we're just like, OK, cool.

We can beat G-forces on the human body on airframes now.

We're just going to stop development?

I could just extrapolate it out and say 30 years later, yeah, that probably went up even more.

And maybe some of these G-forces we can calculate are now realistic with some of the propulsion techniques we're using.

I don't know.

There's a whole bunch of new propulsion techniques out there that some, there's one that I've looked at a lot.

It's called a rotating detonating engine, RDE.

There's a couple of companies now building them, which is pretty awesome.

I love to see this.

Russia did a whole bunch of publications here until 2010 and then stopped.

What is it?

It's a very special type of engine that allows you to get, theoretically, it uses a totally different, instead of using combustion, it uses detonation.

So you can get much more efficiency out of the same fuel sources going into it.

Best way to put it is you could take something like a Falcon 9 and by replacing the engine with one of these RDEs, make it lift as much mass as a Falcon Heavy, right?

So you can essentially make a rocket much, much better by using these engines.

It's a long extrapolation.

There's a lot of questions to them.
