Oh I'm not worried safety wise. I know they fly over terrain where an incident wouldn't cause any issue and that the likelihood of my joke is low. I was simply joking that it would be funny if adding a third reignited engine caused even more problems.

 

Gonna need more fuel in those headers with less mass fraction as a result, at least.

 

Those header tanks are pretty small and rocket engines GUZZLE fuel. 2052 Pounds, or 1 TON of fuel per engine per second for the raptor. Next one might run out of fuel a few seconds after lighting them, like SN8...

I got the Starlink email yesterday myself, but the $600 initial price tag got me like

Anyone have reviews of current users?
