Musk spilled a few geeky details on the test engine's thrust and how it's geared toward reaching the moon as fast as possible.
- Super Heavy will use up to 31 Raptor engines, though Musk says initial tests will probably involve fewer engines "in case it blows up." First firing of Starship Raptor flight engine! So proud of great work by @SpaceX team!! pic.twitter.com/S6aT7Jih4S Musk also uploaded a couple of videos of the test firing to his Twitter account on Feb.
