Thanks Ulli for the link. That's an interesting reading on the subject of propulsion. Two billion dollars for a full ready-to-go engine is not that much. Good work P&W! Keep it up.

By a side note, we are again relying on the ejection of mass to propel our spaceships outta there. It seems there is no way to cheat with the law of conservation of momentum.
Regards
