Must be noted that the used engine on LLRV is NOT a rocket, but a normal turbofan engine. That engine can be easily throtled and controlled, while rocket engines are way much harder to throtle or control... not to mention that even a 500lbs engine can make a small crater into -solid CONCRETE! (check 2nd try there: youtube.com or here: media.armadilloaerospace.com Amazing! And what a 9 982 lbs engine can do to a light regolit dust? That: upload.wikimedia.org Not see a thing? Well, that engine was never meant to run, you know. It was just put on the scene with crane...
