SpaceX Launch Tower 2 now 6 Sections Tall, Ship 30 may need another Static Fire, and Raptor 3 Reveal

Raptor 3 engine looked so good when I saw it and looked back at the other one. I was like, it looks too complicated, and it has too many parts and pipes and stuff

if the new tower isn't called "launchpad Mcquak" , i'm gonna be pissed!

Space this week: Helping space nerds survive Mondays, one episode at a time

It's wild that the engins are already v3, and the ships are about to be v2, and it is not even done with prototyping

Iterative design on full display at SpaceX. Other Companies should take note

Really cool batman like cutaway there...

Well atleast its 6/10 of the video is just spacex instead of 8/10

Raptor 3 lookin' fly

What if we started calling Twitter/X TwiX

While raptor has been getting more clean and modern, I agree with Tory. There is no clear FADEC/ECU on the engine, and it lacks any wiring at all. SpaceX hasn’t somehow magically made a fully mechanical engine that needs no electronics. Especially not for something as autonomous as Starship. They just didn’t put any electronics on it. The picture of it on the test stand shows no electronics on it that are required to run the engine. Likely they got it to the test stand and then put it on the engine after taking the photo. this is like if you took the entire wiring harness out of your engine bay and the showed it off to people as a “Minimalist” design. Once you get to the dyno, and all eyes are off you, you can put the harness on and actually run it:

I’m gonna miss the old style OLM. I think it looks cooler than a flam trench more standard approach

24 views in 1 minute in a 9 minute video... Those numbers speak for themselves

Raptor 3 at home:NK-9 Raptor 4 at home:AJ-10-37

if you take "Northrop Grumman sending a resupply to the iss" out of context it sounds really bad

As usual an 11/10 video

can we get more ready set slow gameplay i really enjoyed that vid

Omitting the TVC to make it look cleaner is a little cheaty, but hey, the majority of the engines on the ship don't have TVC either. Best part is no part!

We're not saying bye to the Atlas 5 quite yet, just its last NSSF NROL type launch. I believe there's about 15 Atlas 5 launches left. Various roles. Biggest news of the week is actually the FLAME TRENCH for OLM2! For me at least...

Loved the vid Matt would love a detailed video on SpaceX’s plans for the launch site seamed like there is a lot more going on

Raptor 3 truly follows the Elon's philosophy of "The best part is No Part" perfectly.
