How can a rocket engine achieve more than a 100-percent thrust? Well, RS-25 engines were first designed more than 40 years ago, for use with NASA's space shuttle, and the power level they were capable of achieving at the time is the margin known as 100-percent thrust, according to NASA. RS-25 engines are former space shuttle engines that have been modified to perform more powerfully than ever before.
"Increased engine performance is crucial for enabling SLS missions to deep space as the rocket evolves to be larger and carry astronauts and heavy cargo on a single flight," NASA officials said in the statement.
When the space vehicle is assembled and ready for launch, four of these formidable engines will create a combined 2 million lbs. of thrust, according to the statement. And there's more: A pair of boosters on the SLS will work with the RS-25 engines to supply the rocket with a whopping 8 million lbs. of total thrust.
...
In addition to RS-25 ignition, the "brain" of the engine underwent testing. The new flight controller is one of the latest modifications to the engine design and will help provide precision control as it communicates with the rest of the SLS rocket. And in an ongoing effort to make SLS more affordable, operators also tested out a shock-absorbing component on Feb. 21, manufactured through 3D printing.

I’ll let NASA explain it all for you...

LOL LOL LOL!
There is no thrust in a vacuum, no air, no friction, no oxygen for ignition... which explains the fake Shuttle videos.
Please have your son the space engineer explain this fake Shuttle footage.
Maybe he knows who the “Big Head” is in the shot?

You are right about deep space but wrong on moon landing. We never been there.
If space is a vacuum, then who is on the other end sucking it?
They didn't go straight through the Van Allan belts either. The trajectory was through a fringe of the belts, through the hole in the doughnut.
We went to the moon, young one.
The earth is flat and Columbus never discovered America either!
Yes and an oxidizer is not released until the initial start of burning. It only works in air. You need air to start the burning. Try to ignite gunpower with an oxidizer in a vacuum chamber. It will not start to burn. If space is a vacuum there is nothing to push against and even a oxidizer will not start to burn. The experiment already has been demonstrated. It is time to realized you have been lied to about space. Do the experiment for yourself.

All of those (long discontinued) science labs I took in grammar school come in handy. It's macabre how FReepers don't seem to understand basic science.
Kids today are taught nothing, on purpse, and it is a Satanist lie.
BTW, most people believe the reason they write the word "SEX" on their faked Blue Marble earth composites (both in 2015 and 2012) is because it has to do with some satanic rune or spell concerning sex.

and I assume you are some sort of weird Jester:

No air movement in a vacuum.
No rocket ignition in a vacuum.
No engine thrust in a vacuum.
Sorry, you’ve been hoaxed along with the rest of us.
Now, clean up your act, get right with the Lord Jesus and get your head on straight about the enormity of Deep State lies and hoaxes so you will no longer be part of the problem.
There are some who believe that, even though I am not one of them. I could go into all the reasons that it is truly improbable that America put men on the moon and none of them have to do with photos. But I would never convince you and therefore I will leave you to believe in the greatest conspiracy ever concocted by the U.S.
“and I assume you are some sort of weird Jester”
There is no air movement in a vacuum as there is no air.
Rockets can ignite in a vacuum.
There is engine thrust in a vacuum.
In my posts I try (but doubtfully always succeed) to not waste readers’ time. I fear I’m wasting reader’s time here but your untruths need to be refuted.
Your post is macabre. By your logic, fires would start instantaneously every minute of the day.
If this was sixty years ago, you would have been laughed out of grammar school, high school, college and any other place educated people discussed simple science.
Now, you’re either brainwashed, braindead or a Deep State paid troll.
Take liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, put them together, and add a spark, and you will get ignition
Your post is macabre.
Rocket engines dont need atmospheric oxygen.
No thrust in an absolute vacuum.
But they need thrust, so what is your point?
“But they need thrust, so what is your point?”
An atmosphere is not needed to obtain thrust.
