Elon Musk’s SpaceX starship project update has concluded. There will be some eye candy to reel you in as well: Musk will speak at Starbase, the South Texas facility where SpaceX builds, tests and launches starship vehicles, and he will have a fully stacked starship behind him as a visual aid.
SpaceX is developing Starship to take people and cargo to the moon, Mars and other distant destinations, and to perform a wide variant of other tasks as well. Today SpaceX has shared a video over Twitter on Raptor 2 generator. Raptor is a family of full flow staged combustion-cycle rocket engines developed and manufactured by SpaceX for use in the in-development SpaceX Starship. The engine is powered by “methalox” rather than “kerolox”
Over this tweet, Musk commented that this Raptor 2 will be 250 feet tall and will be ready by the end of the year.
Probably 250 t-F by end of year
