SpaceX, in an attempt to pull eyes from Artemis (good luck) just had a Raptor engine explode on the north test stand at McGregor! Whoa! Go big or go home, I guess! nsf.live/mcgregor

    And that, kids, is why we test. Better now than in flight.

    The Raptor has gone through a pretty radical evolution when you compare, say, first gen to third gen. Sometimes things get a little blowuppy along the way.

        Appreciate it! I felt it was spammy if I did it, but I’m fine with you linking it. 😇

    My thought process watching that:

    “Well we never know what they’re testing, maybe it was just a planned engine stress- oh boy, oh no”

    I’m sure they’ll fix it all pretty quickly, but that’s not a good time.
