Merlin 1D Engine firing
650 Kilo newton for your pizza. Says where i found it, didn't even look if that's correct. Anyway LL'ers usually like this stuff. Very likely a repost, but no harm done, it's short.

650 kN, huh? Wow. Does that mean that I could hold that thing down with 13 of my 50kN carabiners & spansets?

Number seems high. 650 kN is about 65,000 kilograms or 65 tonnes. Maybe?

147,000 lbs which is about 66 tonnes. Wikipedia quotes the same value. Apprently this engine is optimised for vacuum operation ie second stage rather than first stage.

That must be why they don't appear to give a living shit about the mount of noise it makes.

There is only one Merlin engine and that's the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, shows a bit of a lack of imagination.
