I wonder if Shrox, who is known for inventing the "Ping Pong balls on a rocket" design concept, has defected to Romania? Some of the Romanian ARCA group's full-scale rocket vehicles look just like greatly enlarged "Ping Pong balls on a rocket" designs (see: https://www.arcaspace.com/en/misiunea_2.htm )...

Maybe they saw his designs online and thought they were stealing from the NASA web site...

Indeed, a striking similarity! I am also reminded of a hot dog weiner skewering a couple of Yorkshire puddings.

Interesting program -- but really, who would want to ride into space on a rocket engine called "Executor"? :confused:
