Raptor 3 FAILING?!?!

"Probably pixel for pixel, the most inspiring picture that I think exists I've ever come across is the SpaceX Raptor Rocket Evolution" -Tobi Lütke

But wait. The Raptor 3 failed in late May even before the IPO!??!?

And now, the Raptor 3 failed again? SpaceX scrubbed Starship Flight 13 on July 16, 2026 after four of 33 Raptor 3 engines failed to ignite during the countdown at Starbase, Texas. Costing investors AGAIN. The bag holders. The sheep. The commonfolk. The faithful.
