@SpaceX @perplexity_ai change the "approx raptor start sequence" text to "i like dinosaurs" and replace the raptor engine diagram with a dinosaur

@SpaceX Simply just stunning, hats off to whoever made this. Blows my mind there’s people out there that know the intricacies of such complex systems.

Elon Musk: Raptor 3 is alien technology. “Raptor 3 is a massive increase in payload capability, in engine efficiency, and in reliability. This is really a revolutionary engine. Raptor 3 is really kind of an alien technology rocket engine. Even industry experts, when we showed a picture of the Raptor 3, said, that engine is not complete. Then we said, here's the engine, not complete, firing at a level of efficiency that has never been achieved before. That is one clean engine. In order to make the engine like that, we had to simplify so many parts of the design, incorporate secondary fluid circuits and electronics in the structure of the engine itself so everything is contained and protected. It is a marvel of engineering, frankly.” From: SpaceX Update, May 27, 2025

Raptor 3 is a beast! Testing a Raptor 3 engine doing what it would do during a Starship V3 launch. SpaceX is running different versions of this test to make sure the three center engines can handle all the conditions they’ll face on the way up.
