You do know Raptor failed twice on the Starhopper right? Once where it didn’t ignite and once on the barely successful 150m hop, where it set itself on fire and cut out at the last minute leading to a hard landing. Elon keeps using the stupid airplane analogy for Starship, but what airplane has engines that fail in some way every flight? I don’t how I feel about these pictures, on one hand I’m impressed by how robust Starhopper is, but on another I’m scared by how close it came to failure.
