It's mind-blowing! SpaceX's NEW INSANE Manufacturing Starship -Raptor 3.0 shocked others...
One engine every day. This is the insane manufacturing frequency of SpaceX Raptor 2. That feat too enough to overshadow every current engine in the world.
But SpaceX will soon shock the aerospace industry even more with the new engine version, Raptor 3. Not only more powerful in thrust, but it will also push SpaceX's engine production rate to a new level.
So how fast SpaceX can produce with the Raptor 3? How can others reach that rate like SpaceX?
Stay tuned as we dive and more in today's episode of Alpha Tech! - Věda a technologie
SpaceX's Raptor 3 engine is a testament to relentless innovation. Truly inspiring!
Go STARMAN GO....WE are all proud and amazed with you
Great achievement of Elon Musk and his Team
If SpaceX could build 1 complete starship and booster per day!
For what exactly? To launch more Starlink competitors in orbit?
We won't go to Mars. It's not sustainable yet and as such would be useless. Also "10 horrible ways to die or go crazy" live on 24/7 cameras not great for publicity. BTW we won't use Starship to go to Mars. Not in it's current design. You have to leave something behind. Watch Interstellar again maybe?
@@vensroofcat6415Good post. Also, SpaceX hasn't tested orbital refueling on a large scale. Orbital refueling will be a feat to achieve. That's the next task, one they will not get right the first time! According to the NASA contract with SpaceX, the Starship will need to be ready by mid-2026 for landing a crew on the moon. So, SpaceX will need to increase Starship's testing to meet deadlines.
Yeah! That’s impressive
@@vensroofcat6415
Agreed. Many Starships will be dismantled and recycled on Mars. However, they need to keep some crew ships prepped & ready for return trips. Gotta accommodate both returnees and colony collapse scenarios.
@@imconsequetau5275 Elon in a way is like those misguided feminists suggesting we don't need men. We need metallurgy, chemical industry, transport, farming, medicine, police to name just a few. Nothing of that is on Mars. Won't be this century. Needs significant technology advances, immense money. Money needs reason, profit. Flying people there is the easy part. Suicide rate, infant death rate, health issues, rapes (how many women would go?), locked in 24/7, surveillance... Only crazy would go to Mars. Crazy do well in isolation? Forget Starship, Mars is bs on so many levels for foreseeable future.
at some point space x competitor will simply buy engine from space x instead develop their own.
I love it ! such a awesome guy!
I'm a project management certification instructor, and I can tell you with high confidence that the difference between these organizations is in the way they are managed. The old autocratic leadership style and strictly phased approach the other organizations use are their Achilles heel.
Hello! Do you have any reccomendation for starting a career in pm? Any online courses or certs you would reccomend?
They might not even have project managers…
@@willemhaifetz-chen1588 what? Elon himself is primarily a designer and secondarily a project manager
Should the faa be held responsible for starship losing communication with fhe ground? Elon is trying to maintain a development schedule even in the face of biden's faa impedent actions. That means he's trying to cram as much as he can in one flight. The payload door did not shut!!!! It could not only create flight stability problems it could create hardware failure from heat recirculation zones during reentry!!!
No space enthusiast should ever vote for biden
They use the Scrum Method of project management.
Imagine if spacex produced military tech? The cost would plummet while being far innovative. Our 800billion would go much further
The DOD would not allow he is really exposing the waste full spending of our tax dollars oops i meant money printed out of thin air.
Lookup "Starshield"..
beautiful
I’m amazed on how many times the word insane is used by these posters. It is incorrectly used.
I know! It's just insane!
Yeah, and do we really need 18 minutes to keep telling us the same thing over and over?
Love watching the video and learning so much about your production processes. Thank You!!
This is incredible
That’s right!
The only ones that can possibly out perform the numbers of engines created a day are the Chinese government. And then, would you want to ride one?
I doubt it's within their capability to mass produce much of anything of quality, let alone a highly complex bit of kit as this.
SHOCKED
Thanks too... Additive Manufacturing.. Lean Engineering Concepts ❤
Perhaps SpaceX will add more build lines to their manufacturing facilities, this would increase the numbers accordingly.
When I saw Starship test flight 3, it made me feel like WE are the advanced alien species.
That's right ! that's impressive!
I don’t why I bother? To both of the children. Did either of you observe the ift-3 flight? It had more hair on it than my hunting dog!
Let’s see to many engines on 1 rocket frame. Made of 304l stainless steel which is 90% to heavy. Falcon9 and Falcon heavy are made of aluminum and both land back on the pad without stainless steel.
Booster crashed even after detaching 1 minute sooner than Ift-2. If it had kept the engines going over 4 minutes it would have made a beautiful disassembly. The starship used the hot stage ring and damaged the gimbal engine o-rings. So it free flew from 178 kilometers to 228 and then fell back to earth. Did either of you watch the camera pointed at the end of starship. For 39 minutes it was blowing methane or oxygen out. The back of the rocket is it floated along. so now starship is re-entering the atmosphere. SpaceX tries to relight the gimbal engines in order to gain attitude and yaw control. But no luck and no engine relight. Now it’s just a little out of control. Then the same camera shop starship dealing tiles and insulation out the back of rocket. So even is the engines had relit and they gained control the rocket was going to burn up due to loss of thermal tiles. So at 65 kilometers the starship was ash falling to the ocean. I suggest ift-4 use either a commercial or government satellite to get a closeup of the next coming disassembley. It will burn up until they redesign the rocket. One thing I didn’t realize was that Elon musk lost his two top space engineers, who have gone off and started their own company. So this explains the current brain drain we are seeing. The current design is not a matter of tweaking it it is a matter of totally redesigning it. Sorry Elon Musk!
Eventually 10-15 engines daily for a mars colony I’m guessing…
Just over 1 month per Starship Rocket.
And when they become recovered there will be a fleet of Starships.
That's positive
I have said it many times
SPACE-X leads the way
Those rockets make great shock diamonds.
Hi❤
Have a good day!
Hey, I was just wondering, are they gonna make the mega Bay just a little bit taller with cranes? For the boosters with the thing at Up to of the boosters.
SpaceX may have to slow down here. It really can’t ramp up the production of the ship and the booster until it reaches orbit and a successful landing, reuse ready, and without a mishap investigation by the FAA. Until that can be done, over and over, there is always a chance SpaceX may have to make major design changes.
This really shows how most other manufacturers are terribly inefficient and why the world is almost at a standstill.
Стоит на месте??? А в чем именно? Весь этот прогресс вещь весьма спорная .
Допустим создадут мощные ракеты, долетят до Луны или даже до Марса. А дальше то что??? Что там делать??? Эти планеты совершенно не пригодны для жизни. И стоит ли на это тратить время и деньги?
What I find cool is his plan involves many companies. Electric cars dont need oxygen to run on Mars. Tesla. You need to grow food and his brother runs Square Roots, a shipping container like garden. Underground systems on Mars best to avoid radiation and storms, Boring Company. Tesla also took over Solar City years ago, so they have the solar panel production and tech. Battery storage also by Tesla. Its a giant ecosystem of tech that works and implemented on Mars. Im just waiting to hear the first crew to mars will be the Optimus robots that might be able to run themself or worst case by a human on Earth FPV style. Oh and Starlink systems around Mars sending data back to the Earth, Starlink for high bandwidth control. Seems dedicated
Can’t do fpv control on mars from earth. The speed of light just won’t let you.
@@JohnR31415 Yea guess the 3min travel time could present a issue. They will figure it out haha
All very encouraging, but first thy need to stop the ships from exploding!!!! This is from a SpaceX fan!
Wait, why wasnt the BE-4 engine on the Vulcan inaugural launch not mentioned?
Musk is a world changer .... a world conquerer.
He’s definitely a once in a hundred years kinda guy..
To be the conqueror of the Mars, more precisely.
I'd give a lot more credit to the engineers and researchers that are making this possible
Yeah!
Love the style and laid back commentary. No florid language just simple straight to the point stuff. Also, not opinionated but just a great supply of the facts (I hope). Very nice indeed and this style of reporting attracts some very smart and thoughtful comments. Love it.
I love it too! That’s impressive!
SpaceX will manufacture the number of Raptor 3.0 rocket engines it needs. If SpaceX predicts the need for five times the number of Raptor 3.0 rocket engines it currently produces, it will simply build more facilities and hire more people to achieve that production rate. Any future modifications to the rocket engine design and manufacturing methods to reduce production cost and time is simply more icing on the cake.
Thank you for your comment!
Best practices
The sky is the limit with casting technology. Tesla is growing their knowledge base with casting at an incredible rate. The know how goes right to space X. Most importantly these engines will be perfect. Well as perfect as possible.
150 MEGATONNES _per year_ to Mars? *That's a ridiculously large typo. 1000 Starships to Mars is 150 kilotonnes of cargo to Mars in the first year, not 150 megatonnes.* Maybe it adds up to many megatonnes _after many years._
5:50 fk he reminds me of Saul from Battlestar Gallactica
A booster equipped with Raptor 3 engines will weigh 6600km less! Wow!
Km or kg?
space x is continuing to blow the world away with their production rates :O
The hold up in the manufacturing would be the electroplating process, so the best method is to create multiple lines to electroplate. The nozzle cone construction needs a simpler method to manufacture. This electroplating vat is massive.
I suspect the H2O and CO2 type ice accumulating in the main LOX tank is causing most of the engine failures and leak problems. Sticky valves, clogged inlet screens, turbine erosion, etc.
They may need to stick to pure oxygen gas pressurizing the LOX tank, which implies a new different autogenous system in Raptor 3 engines.
I think Raptor 3 will probably reach 16 hrs per engine for production
that's a possibility
Make a suggestion put the heat shield on the nose of it. Or in the have a bond in heat shield on the lower half of the rocket that is returning to Earth once it slows down you can blow the cover off they're made to go on the side to heat shield and then come around the bottom when you going to re-entry and then it retracts back to Priority engines to the side of the spacecraft you'll love it when she try it play Duke computer simulation of it you understand what I'm getting at the nose is not retractable where is the rocket engines are will be retractable that's all I can tell you to keep the ship from breaking the apart or break in the middle every time because of the stress re-entry😊😊❤❤
Wait for the size of tanks for propellant and oxidiser for that many rockets !
Great job! Everything you said is 100% Factual!
1:11 dude :-D wtf is that supposed to be
Lots of work
Yeah! That’s right!
BE4 should stop trying to compete and just try to buy the raptor engines for the rockets
Just double the production of components and have 2 assembly lines , = twice as many engines surely 🤔
Elon’s quest for MARS must be he is returning home. His abilities are off the human scale
Well at minimum space x will need to build 10 a day, times 365 that give you 3650 a year and each starship will need 33 of them. That about 110 starship in a year that works to be about 2 launches a week. Space x will need at minimum of 8 operational LT. currently I do not think Space X has plan out enough ground infrastructure to support 2 or 3 launches per tower each day every day.
For 400 stareship Space X will need between 36 and 40 R3 engines built every day. I do not see this as issue. Moving around all the booster and stareship to get the launch cadence of 3+ or better for each OLM & LT each day, That the issue. It all the ground infrastructure that will be needed . Space X may need to mfg all propellants on site.
But of course SpaceX ‘has not plan [sic] out enough ground infrastructure’ … all their engineers and planners are high-school dropouts. They hire them to save on payroll and so Evil Elon can lord it over them.
Is a scheduled time for when they plan on putting the Raptor 3 engine on Starship? If they are building Raptor 3. They have to have a time line. I'm eager to hear what they have learned from this latest test flight. I don't have any Faith in the BE-4 engine. I don't think Blue Origin has a lot of faith in there own rockets. So far it sounds like a lot of fluff. Tons of politics involved here. Why doesn't ULA just retro fit there rockets for the Raptor 2 or Raptor 3. At least they would be able to sleep at night. Great Episode. Thank You and please thank your team for all the work and effort they put into each episode.
Thank you for your comment! Your satisfaction is the great thing for us to work even harder
however many engines they want.
Wow. A million square feet of factory. That’s impressive. That’s almost 1/4 the size of Boeing’s Everett factory! That would be big enough to hold a production line for a 747! It would need to be at least 120 feet tall to allow the sky crane to lift one body section over another.
They don’t mean build an engine in 24 hours. They mean something like build 24 engines in 24 days.
Don't worry. Everyone know production line. Decades ago when I was a kid I already did summer job in a production line. It is the standard method of most industrial products are manufactured. Elon Musk's achievement is to apply production line production to a traditionally craft made satellites.
The real trick is his "the best part is no part" principle. Look at the V3 vs V2. Many fiddly bits are simply gone. Somehow their functions have been given to other parts. Nonexistent parts weigh less and they're quicker to (not) install. Plus, they never fail.
Elon is actually Peter Weyland!
at least one engine
Its 33 engines in the booster not 36
39 total to orbit. 33 on booster 6 on starship
6 to sub orbit 33 to the Gulf of mexico
5:10 - Yes, we can, to the one that actually flew as expected at first try.
Huh? 36 plus 6 equals 39??? Wow, all these years I've been wrong in my arithmetic.
It's actually 33 plus 6
@@deannelson9565
Agreed
Really good video! Great way to start the weekend. It is amazing to credit Elon Musk with all this progress when he has had massive help from rocket engine engineers and others. He is the first to acknowledge this, though. That's why I can forgive his several goofs like Twitter and his views on the 1st amendment. But still; Would be nice if he would have mercy on us: "family savings in Tesla stock" folk who really need him to behave. A fellow commenter just explained to me that Giga-Texas is about the equivalent of 4 aircraft carriers in logistics size. Must be about the same for Starbase. A weighty thought; no? It makes Musk an Admiral !
Thank you so much!
I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy! 😮😮😮
Perfect. One of your competing channels was noting that maybe SpaceX should outsource the Raptor Engines to a company that is better equipped to manufacture state of the art Full-flow staged combustion MethaLox rocket engines.
How should an intelligent well read mind respond to that?
This is where I just don't think I can get through to them.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This still only represents one booster a month and there are no figures for reusability , the booster may do 20 flights but not everything attached to it will, and they are talking about one or more flights a week for the Moon missions. I had thought that Spacex were going to reduce the size of the Raptors to fit possibly 60 on the booster instead of 33 . Scary for control and safety checks etc.
They broke ground on a new Raptor factory at McGreggor at the testing facility. Ground was broken one year ago and the expected capacity will be 2x-4x the current one in CA. So that should lift capacity shortly after the new Starship factory is being completed at Boca Chica (which is partially operational to date).
With construction complete on new Crew launch tower at SLC-40, NASA should now have no qualms about using the Starship tower at SLC-39B... and another launch site is being discussed on the base (SLC-37 or a new SLC-50) in the longer term (2-4 years). This in addition to the second Boca Chica tower that has begun construction.
As to reducing the size of the Raptors, there is no plan for the main engines on either stage. There was talk of that for landing engines of the lunar lander (these are 2/3 of the way up the lander and have yet to be seen).
Lander is expected to be completed before 2026 lunar launch. Shrinking the design should not be so diffficult as smaller engines have more predictable fluid flow as I understand it.
The need for these small engines high up in the lander is that the blast of the main engines on landing would send a regolith cloud into low orbit around the moon for years. Not a problem once or twice, but with so many, many landings planned, that's a big long term problem... so having the smaller thrusters 100' or more up the rocket allows far less violent ejection allowing the dust to settle back to the surface. It also yields greater control on landing.
As for reusability, the target is 100 flights per ship(both stages)/engine (all components-save maybe tiles and such). F9 has thus far demonstrated 20 flights of a single core (with some refurbishment after each flight (turnaround 25-40 days). The Raptor is Methane rather than RP-1 and will run far cleaner for more rapid reuse (no coking at all - much faster turn around).
The thrust and ISP numbers keep increasing for Raptor. I think they will increase the number of engines in the second stage, especially to increase payload on tankers and improve margins for abort on crewed flights.
I'm eagerly waiting to see how they implement the Lunar surface thrusters. Will they use one nozzle per engine, or more? How many engines for failsafe and redundancy? Exciting.
5 per day!
Can SpaceX produce the Raptor Three faster than China can steal it?
dude that is so true
and then there's the 20+ yr old DEI start-up - that took over a year to just get their carnival ride going again... Starship blew up along w/ destroying the launchpad - 7 months later they flew again, successfully. BlueOrigin is far more consumed w/ DEI than launches.
Very soon they will be making more engines than they can effectively use.
Implications fo ICBMs?
zero. The US ICBM's use solid fuel, for simplicity and cost, raptors use liquid fuel.
That would be Kilotonnes not Megatonnes.
It is a bit miss leading to say they produce 1 engine per day. The OUTPUT is 1 engine per day. It would take more than 24 hours to build an engine thus the throughput is 1 per day
Elon is a thorough man. Free Hot meals every 3 to 4 hrs..Very Thorough.
Version 3 and they find out that Raptors can't spin prime relight with 1600kph tailwind for landing. Oops, maybe an OTA fix?
I suspect the H2O and CO2 type ice accumulating in the main LOX tank is causing most of these problems. Sticky valves, clogged inlet screens, turbine erosion, etc. They may need to stick to pure oxygen gas pressurizing the tank, which implies a new different O2 gas regeneration system in Raptor 3 engines.
I don't buy it. All re-lit perfectly for the boostback burn. You really think mach 2 re-entry atmosphere into the engine bell won't effect a spin prime restart? This was the first test of such a situation and it badly failed. Hopefully some merlin learnings can be brought to the raptors.
When will they begin to use Raptor 3
I would really love to know that too! The best I can guess is that they want to use up the current inventory of versions 1 and 2 first. So far they have used up 39 per launch so 117. I don't know the current inventory level.
64 per day by mid 26.
Musk worked 20 hour days to fix the issues. But this effort pays billions for himself. Unlike most jobs, you just get more work for going the extra mile.
"another day, another engine"
It sucks knowing I probably will not live long enough to see more than one starship per day. Then they don't have to produce all those engines when they start re-using engines.
Meanwhile, people have been waiting on the roadster for years
Why wait? Just catch up with it on it's journey to Alpha Centauri C...
Maybe they needed the Raptor 3 engine in production to build the Roadster II?
Roadster is not economical. You will get your roadster eventually. Tesla is not on the top of his to do list. What he is focused on is Space X. His dream has always been Mars. Have you read his Biography?
@@FatJesusLivenot only. roadster is a niche market. focus is on stuff that will bring lot of money for tesla: Semi, CT and "model 2"
Why is everything “INSANE?” One might think that if something is “INSANE”….it might be a dad thing not a good thing. You INSANE video maker.😮
More like INANE!!!
Alpha Tec = Inane hyperbole
Could build 400-600 cars a day on one line.
Could plant an apple tree and get 200 to 300 apples per year.
🔱💙💙💙 Слава
💛💛💛💛 Україні
Won't they need hundrets of launch towers too, if the first stage is reusable and relaunchable in 1h, to avoid a massive rocket sized bottleneck?
I think they can produce 100 per day.
A huge number
Elon Musk is a National Treasure !
So what is Elon waiting for make production for raptor 3
Need rockets to match them. He is completing massive building to do this with expected theoretical capacity of 1 starship per day (needing 42 engines in V2 for each). He also has a customer with scores of launches required: Starlink.
There currently is no need to accelerate production as 6 more Starship launches are expected in 2024. So they need about 250 engines in 2024.
They have or will have in 2024: launch customer starlink, launch customer NASA (with all the tankers needed to refuel an orbital depot. Other customer missions.
Facility with production rate of up to 1 Starship per day.
Raptor build facilities to build 1 engine per day and the ability to simply copy the production line and double or triple this in the near term. (They had 1/day capacity Before they opened the new McGreggor engine production facility.)
Raptor launch towers include: one in Texas with a second building and one in Florida that should now be available for use with restrictions lifted shortly (months).
The FAA will be a limiting factor but they have a launch tower at SLC-39B now that has not been used as NASA was worried that a crash could damage the only tower with Crew capable launch pad... this is no longer the case as an additional Crew capable tower is now at SLC-40... Military has embraced 80+ flights last year of F9... should be fine with large volume Starship launches. Spacex is looking to acquire or build an additional pad as well but that's in early days.
... so they can now launch Starship from either Texas or Florida if the FAA continues to get in the way.
Income from Starlink is positive for some time with subscribers now passing 2.5m up from 2.2m breakeaven. Newer, much higher capacity sats (4x-9x and now with the antennas for direct cell to sat capability from conventional phones) have been deploying (V2 mini) with (V2max) launching on Starship. Income is expected to increase dramatically, subsidizing Starship. Starship will open a massive surge in satellite population with 9x capable sats in the 500km+ and soon 300km+ orbits.
Subscribers, backbone services (Microsoft, Google, others) will swell rapidly from 2025 as each Raptor can place 120 - 200 V2max sats in orbit. The income will expand way ahead of Starship development and production costs with increasingly massive margines and competition years away (Oneweb capacity is no competition with their V2 project limited and creeping along, Kuiper has yet to leave the ground save for 2 test sats.
They, need a fully tested Starship to ramp production. 2024 should see that done with first deliveries of Starlink V2max by the end of 2024.
So. They have the Need, the funds, launch capability and the capacity ramping rapidly in 2024 for far greater production, but right now excess production would be wasted. All the pieces are allinging for a massive uptick from 2025,much greater still in 2026.
I would say they know something we don’t and it’s time to grab your oxygen tanks and mre’s & start hitchhiking to mars
I bet they can pump out 10 a day or more Remember they have been pumping out parts for months so I don't even know why this is a issue

well said
I have no doubts....
But then I have been thinking about the parts count effect on rocket engine production longer than Elon and SpaceX have...
Personally, extremely proud of those guys for running with that ball...
And at the same time running off with the game. 🤣
And its only beginning, the humor potential is building up, and Jeffie and the other big boys are gonna get skunked by that nerdy kid Elon.
If they aren't already reacting and working on simplified designs they are gonna be really embarassed for a longer time playing catch up.
I've done alot of writs...
Mostly here on Alpha Tech, projecting the logic forward on parts count and where the rabbit hole goes.
Everybody always thinks I'm crazy, story of my life! 🤣
Theres basically no upper limit on engine production of the simplified engine, especially if the stock can be produced in lengths and cut and welded together like weldable couplings in pipe fabrication. If you can get it to that level, talking about hours per engine, and prices in the tens of thousands of dollars each.
And I watched the 3rd test launch live on Ellie's channel, And I know what I saw.
I saw the hardest thing in human history being absolutely dominated by a somewhat simplified Raptor 2 engine class...
Basically that launch tells me the uphill side of the battle is over, and we still have Raptor 3's and beyond coming.
Elon has literally broken the Malthusian gravity well paradigm at serious levels, and we need to stop the wars and focus on bootstrapping ourselves up and out, so theres nothing left to fight over.
Wars are invariably fought over territory, resources, and slaves, not ideology.
Space is infinite territory, infinite resources, and we can breed like rabbits once away from Malthusian limits.
Also, this is way bigger that Elon and SpaceX, Simplified engines are for every one. once Raptor 3's go open source more or less, there will be garage guys building versions.
The whole industry is gonna shift to parts count by design.
And the acceleration of Space Endeavours will be boggling, like a singularity event.
Anyway, hope my critique on the third test flight helps, it re enforced things I have been concept planting here on Alpha Tech long term.
You'd think I'd get some Space cred by now?
Not a one hit wonder...
Good comment! I appreciate your comments
@@alphatech4966
Yeah, thanks, that actually means alot to me!
I just left one for Ellie and Tim on a short that explains my suggested fixes better...
And as usual a little tongue in cheek...
🤭
Maybe we can get Ellie bugging Elon more directly, and get some concepts past the middlemen?
Thats the key to success with Elon, if he groks the logic, its game over on the upgrades... he being the AIC (Aspie in Charge) 🤣
If The Ukraine we're on Mars we would have been there already with SpaceX instead of war.
What?
if the star trek we are at then stargate 1 could've use mars at peace and spacex mummies and whatnot, eh?
Streamline production one thing to make engines dependable is a biggie in space x case making us land lubers
Take it as a given.
I WILL LAUNCH THE 500 TON CARGO ROCKET in 2033
What is Elon's answer to the fact that Mars has no appreciable magnetic field and that exposure to solar and cosmic radiation is life threatening?
Staying inside.
Visit the surface under a transparent ceiling with 2-3 meters of water overhead, or stay deep underground.
Engineering your way around it.
You could say the same for the moon yet we went there. Why not develop the tech to be multiplanatary
@@chrisculhane3777 Exactly! Do you see that engineering? We need all of it BEFORE going to Mars. You can return from Moon any time. Mars though has "windows". You are living a fantasy. For now. Do the homework, come back 200 years later. Also robots for space, not humans.
If tesla can have a car off the line every 47 seconds why not a raptor?
Each rocket engine is required to be fully tested several times before the deliver. The cars are sampled.
Raptor engines aren't for sale. Raptor engines cost $250,000 each. Also, these rockets are still in development.
Who's to say that they aren't?@@zhchbob
Why can’t they produce a nuclear submarine every 47 secs….
Maybe because they are not the same..duh
Ohh you smat guy@@Omsip123
I HOPE THEY START BUILDING THE R 3 ENGINES AND SELLING OFF ALL THE OLD ENGINES, THEY NEED ALL THE THRUST AND FUEL SAVINGS THEY CAN GET TO MAKE STAR-SHIP WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 3rd launch was amazing, SpaceX will definitely move forward with a new engine variant
Space X cannot sell those Engines because they contain classified technology. The government doesn't play when it comes on dealing with classified information
If we didn't want to go to Mars, then we shouldn't go to Mars.
Does this one come with an explosion or is it sold separately?
Maybe space x should start selling these engines to other companies
Например, в Китай 😂
0:25 - The question is, when will the first Raptor finally reach orbit? Or return in one piece from even suborbital flight?
Should the faa be held responsible for starship losing communication with fhe ground? Elon is trying to maintain a development schedule even in the face of biden's faa impedent actions. That means he's trying to cram as much as he can in one flight. The payload door did not shut!!!! It could not only create flight stability problems it could create hardware failure from heat recirculation zones during reentry!!!
No space enthusiast should ever vote for biden
Simple answer: As soon as they are sure, they can re-ignite successfully in space! It‘s the prerequisite for a controlled descent from orbit. Therefore, there will be at least one more suborbital flight. My guess: We will see the first truly orbital Starship flight in late May or June.
FAA has nothing got to do with all that - as Elon mentioned, they are NO more delaying the project.

I think that you are right. Some of us understand the basics of R&D, safety, manufacturing, orbital mechanics, etc. The rest just try to fake it by making stupid accusations like @alicemiller8031.

Why producing Raptors like cookies when it is yet to accomplish more than the most basic of its tasks?
Meanwhile i learned SpaceX plans at least another 5 (!) suborbital test flights. They want to avoid any risk to end up with a Starship being out of control in LEO.
Therefore we might see the first truly orbital flight no earlier as end of this year.
