Musk's SpaceX facing HUGE TROUBLE with all Engine Static Fire, Elon's Reaction...
This is one big step closer to making history because during this test, SpaceX used the full nitrogen and water suppression system on the pad, providing a crucial data point on the quality of this vital safety system at the pad.
According to some sources, concrete chunks were falling to the ground shortly after the test. This was around 40% of the total power output. A mix of debris types also fell during the test.
While a bit unnerving, it is a big deal.
Let's analyze everything about this in today's episode of Alpha Tech:

Powered by 33 upgraded Raptor 2 engines that SpaceX says can produce up to 230 tons each, Super Heavy could have produced up to 3220 tons of thrust when it ignited 14 of its engines earlier today. That likely means that Starship is now the fourth most powerful rocket ever tested, slotting in above NASA’s Space Shuttle but below the Soviet Energia. And even if all 14 engines never throttled above 73%, SpaceX’s Starship booster likely still produced more thrust than any other active rocket in the world, beating Falcon Heavy.
Mind-blowing!!
Notably, only 14 out of 33 engines, and yet we got a dust cloud engulfing the entire launch tower!
In fact, that is not dust, that is pulverized concrete: "concrete fire spalling".
And that is a problem.

Back in November 2020, the rocket company SpaceX was just starting to make some progress in the Starship testing program.

One of the prototypes, serial number 8, was on the pad to test-fire the engines for the very first time as a fully stacked vehicle.
