It took NASA decades to develop this special rocket engine. AI made it in 3 weeks

An artificial intelligence engineer called Noyron has successfully designed, manufactured, and tested one of the most challenging rocket engines in the aerospace industry: a cryogenic aerospike thruster. Theoretically, the design of aerospike engines maintains high efficiency across a wide range of altitudes, making it ideal for rockets that can go from surface to orbit on a single spaceship. This type of vehicle—called single-stage-to-orbit—is one of the Holy Grails of space exploration...
