Congrats to one of our friendly local arocketeers, that's a huge
success. It's tough to do a startup focused on just propulsion, but
they have a really impressive team and I'm glad they've gotten to hot
fire.

You can 3D print some really interesting materials these days. I believe
that is currently the best way to manufacture Monel alloy parts for rockets,
and both SpaceX and Blue are pursuing that approach for their staged
combustion engines.
Thanks,

No data given yet. I know AFRL was working on this. I had been told this
was a materials & coatings problem, so it is surprising to me that a small
start-up using mostly 3D printed parts is claiming first success.
