Raptor 3 looks like something straight out of a sci fi movie

Rocket engines have always looked like complex machines with thousands of parts, yet space x has made them look beautiful and almost unreal. It genuinely looks like a rendered image before it's made, a concept design from far in the future.

The thing about cutting into Raptor 3 to have to do any maintenance on it….the flip side of that is that since SpaceX is building such a large production capacity- which itself covers a multitude of sins- any problem with any engine after its installed on a vehicle, they’ll just be spring-loaded to change it out immediately since they’ll have another one immediately at hand- send the removed one back to the shop, where they can take their time with the diagnostic and only do as much true ‘cutting’ as is needed. - Dave Huntsman

" ... that's more than I can bench." " ... upside down Starbase ... ". I love Felix' scripting. Brilliant!

marcus is going to shout the biggest HEY! HEY! of his career if he's going to get an australian starbase.

You're one of the very few channels that actually doesn't repeat same news over and over again. Thank you for that Felix, love your content. Keep it up!

Raptor 3 looks mind boggling!

If Raptor wasn't the most sophisticated rocket engine in the world before, it is now.

Felix, ya gotta get someone in Australia to get us the footage there after spacex starts breaking ground

"Upside Down StarBase" got me laughing!

I'm from the 70's..yes, the 1970's. We used to read sci-fi books that had imaginary characters like Elon Musk. You know, billionaires that dared to spend their money on fantastic machines and now it's finally happening in real life!

17:25 I was thinking about this a couple months ago when Tim Dodd did his walk through. Basically there is nothing you can do to work on any rocket engine that would take you less than a day to do. With that in mind... ... Space X is producing these engines at a rate of one every day and a half. So it may simply be the case that it is better to make the engine so robust that there isn't going to be a failure during its service life... and when there is... it is simply quicker to replace it and recycle the materials from the old one than it is to try and repair it.

the only thing i am starting to realise with this spaceX x Australia is that everyone thinks aussie is just sydney or Melbourne... people are forgetting it lands on the west coast :c

At 9:00 they show anchor bolts sticking up out of the footings for steel columns to be set on later.

We NEED the Zefram Cochrane moment - but - in the meantime this (Raptor V3) is at least an Edison moment. Somewhere in between the two. That’s jaw-dropping engineering on display here!

350 isp for a methalox engine is nuts

Your isp number for raptor 2 is wrong, or atleast it's wrong in this context. The number spacex gave for raptor 3 was it's isp in vacuum which has been confirmed. Raptor 2 had a vacuum isp of 347 seconds which was actually worse than raptor 1 which had 350 the same as raptor 3.

Looking at Raptor 3's simplicity makes me think it was made in somebody's garage. Good vid Felix👍

Technically you can 3d print a Raptor V3 since its mostly welded
