[NASA Sets New Guinness World Record (44 Engines on a rocket)]

Just how many engines can NASA put on a rocket? 42 would have been a nice answer but NASA used 44, with most of them sounding more for show than go at first. The first thing that I thought of after reading the article was KSP

The Charged Aerosol Release Experiment II, or CARE II, studied the effects of dusty plasmas – charged particles that can occur naturally in the mesosphere -- and the bulk of the rocket engines were burned to form an exhaust cloud of dusty plasma used for the experiment. Only three of the CARE II engines contributed to launching the rocket. Another four engines were spin motors, which are used to reduce the impact dispersion of the rocket. The remaining 37 engines provided the exhaust cloud.

Hi there!

I've been playing KSP for a few months and finally got around to post here. Go Orion!
