Developments at Boca Chica would surely make Edison and the Wright Brothers proud...not to mention Goddard and vonBraun
Engineers, welders, ironworkers and others working their hearts out to develop Starship.

Info on SN8 and SN9 developments.....looking forward to an amazing suicide belly flop landing. Also info on status of the next Dragon and Starlink, GPSIII and ISS.
Other space ventures do their work behind closed doors in cleanroom-type environments. Space-X is outdoors, full speed ahead with multiple prototype stages in the works. Failures will happen but will not slow them down.

They have developed new stainless steel alloys and fabrication techniques at the Boca Chica facility.

Here Scott Manley discusses features of the new vacuum rated raptor engine.
The raptor engine is completely closed cycle and fueled by liquid methane.



Don't confuse this program with the Falcon program.
The Falcon engines are static fired in McGregor TX before transportation to the cape in FL.
