Can you imagine if a man wrote this? Just imagine the outcry. BTW, I raised a daughter that is a chemical engineer and her best friend is a rocket scientist... No joke, her friend built engines on the shuttle and now works on Atlas rockets for United Launch Alliance. She invited us to the last night launch about a month ago and we were less than 3 miles from the pad.
A lot of us love engines and horsepower and, you know, when you think about it, those really are, so far, the ULTIMATE engine.
