 |  SpaceX's first attempt to fire all 33 Starship engines at once ends with mixed result SpaceX has completed its first full static fire test for Starship, if not quite in a way that makes the first orbital test flight next month sound realistic. The company hoped to fire all 33 Raptor engines at once, but Elon Musk noted that two engines didn't make it — the mission team shut off one before startup, while the other "stopped itself." The 31 that did fire lasted the full duration, however, and Musk claims that's enough to reach orbit. https://www.engadget.com/spacex-star...6.html?src=rss |
