Space X moved one big step closer today to an orbital test flight of their Starship sometime in December
They successfully completed a static fire using 14 out of a total of 33 Raptor engines
The static fire only lasted about 12 secs but the thrust was absolutely incredible
Each Raptor engine produces around 460,000 pounds of thrust at sea level so 14 combined produced approximately 6.4 million pounds of thrust ( the Saturn 5 produced 7.6 million pounds at lift off )
Can’t wait to see all 33 engines during a static fire and the eventually the orbital launch
