00:00With the current system architecture, the Starship could bring payloads of up to 200 tons into Earth's orbit.
00:07But if we think back, when Elon presented one of the earlier evolutions of Starship at the 67th International Astronautical
00:15Congress in Guadalajara,
00:16he talked about a much larger system that was capable of transporting 300 tons of payload.
00:25I talked to Aeneas about it and was able to find out some interesting things.
00:29Basically, it's about these 33 C-level-optimized Raptor engines, which we currently see or will see in the future
00:36under the Super Heavy Booster,
00:38are actually not as optimized for C-level as their name might suggest.
00:42Because if they were really optimized for C-level, the engine belts would be so large that they could fit
00:48few of them under the booster.
00:50These engines are actually optimized for conditions below C-level.
