Reply to comment by teryret in How does water factor into rocket launches? by teryret
I believe the issue is “Which is better: 1. A water deluge system which pours a huge amount of water between the rocket exhaust and the concrete pad. 2. A pool of water underneath the rocket exhaust.” I’m guessing a pool of water wouldn’t be as good because the rocket exhaust would blow hot water and steam everywhere in an uncontrolled manner.

This reminds me of the “Pillars of Creation” photo that the Hubble Space Telescope took.

Reply to Saying 'aughts' or '10s' still sounds super weird, but every other decade (70s, 90s, etc.) sounds fine. by mr_never_lift
I think it’s because there’s no “eez” sound at the end. “Twent-eez, Thirt-eez, Fort-eez…”
