The space agency has manufactured its largest rocket part ever, an injector plate, which successfully helped produce around 20,000 pounds of thrust on a test bed. They modified the design of an existing machined injector in order to create a 3D printed version using two parts instead of 115 -- which NASA said performed &quot;flawlessly&quot; in tests. Such parts could one day reduce rocket costs while potentially increasing safety, since they&#039;re less-complex and have fewer points of failure. NASA will ramp up the thrust on subsequent tests, but meanwhile, if you don&#039;t want to see a rocket motor firing with 10 tons of thrust, don&#039;t head after the jump.</p></blockquote></div><br /><p><div class="fancy_video_tag_player"><iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JntV442dB5o" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></p><p><div class="fancy_video_tag_player"><iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gjpkAdLzwCY" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></p>]]></content>
