Elon Musk @elonmuskNow test firing our most advanced engine, the Merlin 1D-Vac, at 80 tons of thrust. pic.twitter.com/HGK1joVQ
First picture of the Merlin 1D-Vac:
Though Popovkin to me is nice, I understand that he is mistaken. It is impossible to say simultaneously that the space industry in Russia too big, and simultaneously to exclude from the national space program sixteen points because RosKosmos could not execute them in time But I suggest not to speak here about it, I simply establish the fact that Popovkin is not the competent expert concerning future SpaceX.

Can anyone explain to me how they might have managed to almost double the vacuum thrust between two revisions of the same engine?!?
