Re: Watch "Space Shuttle Combustion Chamber" on YouTube

I've seen something similar to this if not this same video.

I've had a theory that maybe it would be possible to increase the thrust by increasing the exhaust speed. This would require tougher materials to allow for more pressure in the combustion chamber.

An ion thruster can achieve speeds of 50 km/s.  That's great, but imagine if the technology could achieve relativistic speeds.
