:The burn time is calculated with the I<sub>sp</sub> value and gravity, so there is definitely a difference in atmosphere vs vacuum consumption. Burn time is calculated via the {{Tl|FuelConsumption}} template. --[[User:ArnePeirs|ArnePeirs]] ([[User talk:ArnePeirs|talk]]) 08:15, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

The burn time is calculated with the Isp value and gravity, so there is definitely a difference in atmosphere vs vacuum consumption. Burn time is calculated via the {{FuelConsumption}} template. --ArnePeirs (talk) 08:15, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
