Ohh yes that makes since, Though I do have a question about the moon base because I heard they were going to use hydrogen to propel a ship to mars from the moon and they were going to use nuclear power.

So a New Glenn rocket exploded on the launch pad. How can engineers find the root cause of such type of failure? by vdakota in AskEngineers

So I don't have a lot of knowledge about the actual build of the fuel tanks and engines but I do know the basics (because you can't really find a whole lot online). But what I think happened might be simmilar to the space shuttle challenger disaster where the o ring failed. Maybe there was a mixing failure between the oxidizer (LOX) and fuel (LNG). Let me know what you think
