February 9, 20233 yr Author Quicker than 55 mins. Just finished. 😁 Looked like a succesful test. Everything still in one piece. Very impresive. Will have been more thrust than SLS. Guess we'll have to wait and see what SpaceX conclude but looked good to me. 👍 Edited February 9, 20233 yr by martin-w

It took awhile to zip though the multi-hours to see the ten or so seconds of action, but it was worth the time spent. That was AWESOME!!! Start at 6:40:00 Charlie! Fr.

Start at 6:40:00 Charlie! I did hear a theory that it wasn't full power on the Raptors for the test and that there might be a second test. Cant vouch for that though, It was just a suggestion given that some didn't think it was as noisy as it should be.
