Really surprised by how the Raptors performed! Genuinely didn't expect that they'd have them all lighting up properly already.

- XorNot 3y agoYeah that stood out to me too. Hopefully they'll drop some info on what the metrics said, but that looked like a full healthy set to me.
- mjamesaustin 3y agoYeah this is a huge positive. Perfect performance of all 33 engines, up until the boost back anyway.
- ben_bai 3y agoI think the engines worked perfectly. The booster broke up in the middle, at least it looks like it on the everyday astronaut feed.
- pelorat 3y agoI believe this flight used the old Raptor engines, and not the new simplified ones.
- sbuttgereit 3y agoPretty sure they used Raptor V2 which simplifies from V1; Raptor V3 I believe is simpler still, but that's still being tested at the SpaceX MacGregor TX facility.
- le-mark 3y agoNo green hue is the flame is definitely a good thing, considering the first few flights the Raptors clearly consumed themselves!
