ya ya .. too bad i don't understand german

Essentially a jet engine is just a rocket that conserves fuel much more efficiently.

Where are the subtitles? Not that many people understand much german, you know. And that is a rocket plane and not a jet plane, isn't it?

An honorable gentleman indeed...

hard to understand but very interesting
