BOOM is a very unfortunate choice of name for an airplane.
If they ever have an accident, there will be a million jokes including the two words "...goes BOOM!..."
What the hell were they thinking?

What about “Boeing”, sounds like “Boing”, as in “Boing! I think a part of the engine just flew off!”

Been over a decade since the last NASA crewed mission. Musk and the rooskis have been taking care of it. But, Artemis is scheduled to do an uncrewed moon shot around August 28. Should be an interesting launch.

We do live in interesting times—the question is—will another crazy conspiracy theory turn out to be conspiracy fact? The debate—one way or the other—will be over soon:

Kind of like E85 of aviation fuel?

No horizontal stabilizer, no canards, not a real design.

“This is some kind of scam, or hustle.”
It seems to be. Their engine design was reported to violate the law of physics. They were located at the airport where I flew and we all knew each other. It is a severely underfunded operation.

That name shows such questionable judgement that I’d be wary getting anywhere near their aircraft. At the very least I would wait a few years to see how they pan out. I would not be an “early adopter.”
