Re: Depressing

If you're going for the car metaphor, it's like deciding to power your car with a factory fresh, small block V8. It's a known quantity, that's never had any wear, and it's very predictable.

Also, designing new rocket engines is not easy, what with being your actual rocket science and all, so you might as well use one that's been designed by experts.
