00:00Let's take a look at the test cadence because that's at least as impressive as the technical data.
00:05By April 2026, SpaceX has produced over 600 Raptor engines in total.
00:12Over the past two years, more than 40,000 seconds of cumulative burn time have been locked with Raptor 3
00:18configurations on the test stand.
00:20That's over 11 hours of actual engine firing time spread across hundreds of individual tests.
00:27With a typical Raptor burn duration of just a few seconds per test, that means more than a thousand individual
00:34ignitions on horizontal and vertical test stands in McGregor, Texas.
00:39Recently, however, longer tests have also been recorded more frequently and we get to see it all thanks to the
00:45cameras that NASA Spaceflight has set up on site.
00:48It's incredible the times we live in.
