Next launch is going to be crazy. #SpaceX
Elon Musk@elonmusk· May 13, 2023Raptor V3 just achieved 350 bar chamber pressure (269 tons of thrust). Congrats to @SpaceX propulsion team!
Starship Super Heavy Booster has 33 Raptors, so total thrust of 8877 tons or 19.5 million pounds.

As I’ve talked about in my “How to keep a rocket engine from melting” video and my video about Raptor 1 VS Raptor 2, SpaceX is employing regenerative cooling & a good amount of film cooling. Wonder if Raptor 3 completely eliminated the additional throat film cooling manifold yet
Elon Musk@elonmusk· May 13, 2023@NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Raptor chamber wall might have the highest heat flux of anything ever made
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 13, 2023
No, we still have it. Chamber converging section desperately wants to melt next-level. We also have thermal barrier coatings.

Yeah. To be frank, we did not expect the engine to survive a full duration run at that pressure. It is uncharted territory.

I wonder if Raptor V3 looks different or similar to V2
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 13, 2023
If we can delete & integrate enough secondary structure (small, fiddly bits), then we can locally protect rest & delete engine heat shields

In the back of a comedy club, a struggling comedian got a chance to talk to Jerry Seinfeld.
He said he’d been struggling and sacrificing for about 10 years to “make it” as a comedian. Approaching his 30s, he was worried he’d taken the wrong path.
Seinfeld gave him this advice:

This is how LI Auto’s FSD-like system works in heavy rain. Public release will start in June. It’s mostly vision-based computing platform. Current setup still includes LiDAR for redundancy. LiDAR will be phased out in future vehicle models.

Moderately convinced that Elon Musk can know if Twitter is relatively centric if literally everyone who focuses on politics is pissed off at him for favoring the other side.
Seems to be on that path.
