    Understanding the principle of jet propulsion is pretty straightforward. However, understanding how they made it into not only a practical application but one that is incredibly reliable is mind boggling. How does one come up with the original design of this amount of plumbing, its specific routing and have it all work together in concert to harness such an unbelievable amount of force? Awesome.

    The human mind is a wonderful thing. Nice capture clap.gif

    Wow...that looks so complicated, but you photographed it well. I like that you didn't take it straight on, but added a tilt to it.
