The most powerful rocket engine test ever conducted on Earth happened ten days ago. 33 SpaceX Raptor 3 engines. Six seconds. We talked about it on the show.
What we didn't talk about is what happened before that. Because we didn't know. Nobody outside SpaceX knew. Until this week, when SpaceX released a 24-minute documentary and showed us the two static fire attempts that didn't work.
This documentary changes how I'm thinking about Flight 12. Let me show you why.
