Raptor 3 looks old and Raptor 1 looks straight out those futuristic movies showing 2100

Is that actually a complete engine, or did they just strip off some exterior hardware to make it look simpler?

It’s not rocket science!
We’ll.. actually it is.

Does anyone know the research & development cost between these iterations?

In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there’s no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away.

What’s the time span between the two? R3 looks like an insane leap

Looks like some of the larger manifolds got simplified into fewer separate pieces, still have no clue what they did to all the smaller manifolds running down from the top.

“Well, we kept misplacing a few parts during assembly and it still worked, so…” 🤷

Looks like my codebase 🤣

How is this possible. The level of engineering is insane.

From ‘fragile as my dreams’ to ‘powerful enough to send them to Mars.’
Soon they’ll discover it’s just a hole, drilled in the bottom of a canister full of propellant. Where’s my nuclear propulsion? It’s 2024 dammit!
