SpaceX Raptor engine static-fire test

On Sunday night, SpaceX static-fired its finalized "flight ready" Raptor engine in McGregor, Texas. The Raptor is meant ultimately for its BFR / Starship, and the engine tested here was a "middle model" between its vacuum-optimized and seal-level-optimized versions.


Pictures and videos -- just don't watch the eight-second video with headphones on (it's loud!)
