Earlier this year, Blue Ghost became the first commercial lunar lander to touch down on the moon.&nbsp;Crucial to that mission’s success was its engine – a rocket designed and built in the Buckinghamshire countryside.&nbsp;Number 38 on our list of the greatest items we make in Britain is The Rocket Engine.&nbsp;At a former military base, Dr Ian Coxhill, chief engineer at Nammo UK, shows us around the workshops where propulsion systems are made for space agencies and commercial operators.&nbsp;Ian demonstrates how to recreate the conditions of space at ground level, reflects on the art of engineering, and offers evidence to suggest robots aren’t going to replace humans yet.&nbsp;Plus, we hear the roar of a rocket engine as one is put through its paces at the test facility.&nbsp;Say hello on Instagram @thefactorynextdoor&nbsp;The Factory Next Door is supported by AVEVA, a leader in industrial intelligence.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sign up to their bi-weekly newsletter about manufacturing here:&nbsp;www.aveva.com/factory<hr> Hosted on Acast.
