А тем временем в США
…снова начали огневые испытания F-1.
UPD: Точнее это пока что не весь двигатель а клон его газогенератора: «The process for test-firing a 40+ year-old rocket engine, even if it's just the gas generator segment, is complicated: no current launch vehicles use the engine, so it wasn't a matter of simply grabbing one from a warehouse somewhere. Engineers removed components from an F-1 engine in storage at MSFC, as well as from another in "pristine" condition at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, and then laser-scanned them using a structured light 3D scanner. Once this had been done, new gas generator parts were fabricated from the scans». И от обвинений в практическом применении НАСА всячески отбрыкивается, они, мол, его просто курят для вдохновения.
