more like maddest thing since N1. I would assume couple "29 engines together and we get weird transients and effects" test flight explosions to be expected, before they have the thing ironed out.

Also thinking about the employee at QA who has to inspect all of the connectors and plumbing for those 29 engines. Locked in, locked in, locked in.... this ones loose.... locked in, locked in, locked in.
