    I thought the ISS was testing out their maneuvering thrusters :rofl:

    Not bad though. A lot steadier than I could do.

    That would be a Falcon Heavy though. Maybe he means the super heavy semi-explosion during testing?

    In one of his videos Scott Manley speculated that they were doing spinup tests on the raptors' turbopumps and with 33 of them all venting small amounts of methane it was enough to build up and combust.

    It was a spin test with all 33 Raptors. Elon has since tweeted they’re not gonna do that again…

    Also, the CRS-25 flight was spectacular!

    I saw that and Elon said as much. I'm just wondering what the ignition source was.
