SpaceX's Starship has successfully ignited a Raptor engine while in space, demonstrating a critical maneuver for future orbital missions.

SpaceX reported that four of Super Heavy's 33 Raptor engines aborted at startup due to ox turbopump issues during last week's launch attempt.

SpaceX scrubbed the 13th Starship test flight after some of the Super Heavy booster's Raptor engines failed to ignite during startup; the launch is rescheduled for early next week after two engines are replaced.

SpaceX announces the upcoming twelfth flight test of Starship, featuring next-generation vehicles, Raptor engines, and a new launch pad at Starbase.

Tobi Lütke describes a photo showing the evolution of SpaceX's Raptor engine as highly inspiring, highlighting the value of iterative design and subtraction in engineering.
