And that, kids, is why we test. Better now than in flight.

The Raptor has gone through a pretty radical evolution when you compare, say, first gen to third gen. Sometimes things get a little blowuppy along the way.

“Well we never know what they’re testing, maybe it was just a planned engine stress- oh boy, oh no”

I’m sure they’ll fix it all pretty quickly, but that’s not a good time.
