The pace the past 2 weeks in #BocaChica is completely bonkers. It seems SpaceX went into overdrive and push all the infrastructure into place now. Really exciting times for crane fans.

Elon Musk on Twitter: Raptor V2.0 is a major improvement in simplication, while also increasing thrust from ~185 tons to ~230 tons. Long-term goal is engine cost below $1000/ton of thrust.

[In reference to GAO decision] People are way overblowing this. This is for development and what? Two launches? Blue is now self funding their lander supposedly. There will be more landers in the future. This is a good thing because now we can actually get to developing the currently chosen lander.

It looks like 2 further Raptor vacuum engines have been delivered to the production site at Starbase!
That means 3 Rvac engines have arrived which will be installed onto Ship 20 ahead of Starship’s orbital test flight.

🚨#breaking 🚨 From the best I can tell, there are two Rvac engines inside of this delivery… Meaning that we now have enough Rvac engines for the orbital test. #Spacexnews #spacex #starbase #starship
