SpaceX’s Explosive Engine Problem

Join me as I explain SpaceX's explosive engine problem, and then join 8 million other learners by giving Brilliant a try today at https://brilliant.org/primalspace

With Starship almost ready to do its first ever orbital test flight, it will rely on help from the raptor vacuum engine. But testing vacuum engines is a little bit more difficult than you’d think. This video looks at how these engines were tested in the past and how SpaceX has managed to get around the main problem.
