Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Engine development is unforgiving - thousands of decisions have to go right for them to work. This article looks at how ABL went from nothing to having ten flight-worthy engines tested and installed on a rocket in under four years. It covers the decision-making that went into developing ABL's engines, testing, the company's growth, and more. Pictures of the company's engines and engine testing rounds are available in the article.
