SpaceX Test Firing Integrated Raptor Engine Today or Tomorrow
• https://www.nextbigfuture.comSpaceX will begin test firing the Starhopper. The Starhopper will be tethered and the hops will not be visible from offsite. This will likely be only a few feet or less of lift in the initial tests. The first integrated test firing of a single engine could happen today.
Do y'all think #SpaceX will attempt some sort of test, With only one raptor or wait for the other two to arrive. It's honestly been boggling my mind.

First (really short) hops with one engine. Suborbital flights with three.
