And the first stage "Super Heavy" is designed to have 31.
Update: I think the hopper in the video is a prototype of the lower stage, which is planned to have 31 engines. The upper stage is planned to have 6.
- thinkcontext 6y agoThe test today is a prototype for the upper stage.
- m4rtink 6y agoThe small hopper in the video is an early general purpose prototype from heavy duty steel, what flew today is a prototype of the second stage (Starship). But assembly enclosure for the first stage (Super Heavy) is being built already.
- mabbo 6y agoAfaik, the hopper in the video is the prototype of the 6-engine upper stage. The super heavy will actually be even bigger than the one in the video!
