Re:SpaceX indicates it will manufacture the BFR rocket in Lo... by vkou on Tuesday March 20, 2018 @05:55PM (#16633090)
The energy output of a jumbo jet is four orders of magnitude less then that of a rocket. A jet engine is equivalent to a controlled fire. A rocket is equivalent to a controlled nuclear explosion.

There's almost as much energy stored in a BFR as there is in the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima. This energy is released over 3 minutes.
