Melon will put a 2 layer steel floor below the OLM, and the top layer
will have perforations to let water flow up like a shower head.
Would it be correct to state that the water would need to be at slightly
higher PSI than the pressiure exerted by the thrust of engines onto the
steel plates in order for water to flow out of the holes? If the water
is at insufficient pressure, it is the thrust exhaust that would flow
into the holes and push water back up to the pumps/tanks?
Considering the gazillions pounds of thrust generated by 33 Raptors, is
the PSI needed to push water up against thrust realistic?
Can such pressure be achieved with pumps? Or need to store water into
high pressure tank with liquid nitrogen to pressurize it?
If you have such high pressure inside the steel "floor" to ensure water
can counter pressure from engine thrust, is there a danger the steel
plates will simply come apart?
