SpaceX Revealed Design Changes on Starship Raptor 4 Shocked NASA's Scientist...
If there is one thing that sets SpaceX apart from its competitors in the aerospace industry, it is the courage to turn crazy ideas—ones that no one thought were possible—into reality.
And if there is a second thing that makes SpaceX special, it is its limitless ability to upgrade and develop.
The Raptor engine of the spacecraft is a perfect example of this innovation in action at SpaceX.
That’s why there isn’t just Raptor 1 or Raptor 2, but also Raptor 3 and even the most powerful Raptor 4 of all time.
Let’s find out on today’s episode of Space Zone!

Recently, SpaceX released a stunning video showcasing the static fire test of Starship 34. A particularly valuable camera angle beneath the six Raptor engines gave us an up-close view of the powerful and awe-inspiring combustion process.
But that’s not all. SpaceX could soon show us even more dramatic and intense footage with its latest, most powerful version of the Raptor engine yet—Raptor 4.

As we know, SpaceX has planned three versions of Starship: Starship V1, Starship V2, and Starship V3. While each version has its own upgrades, Starship V3 appears to be a significantly larger variant. While Starship V2 is only 3.1 meters taller than Starship V1, Starship V3 is expected to reach a height of 150 meters—making it nearly 29 meters taller than Starship V1 and around 26 meters taller than Starship V2.
This significant expansion in size requires a newly designed engine specifically for Starship V3. That engine is none other than SpaceX’s new Raptor 4. But why does Starship V3 require a larger engine instead of continuing to use Raptor 3?
