Bruh its a TEST STAND TEST STAND this is not the Frist time a engine exploded on a test stand raptor engines in their development phase are supposed to explode. Elon musk has said if something doesn't explode then you did something wrong
- Well, if Musk said it, it must be true. /s
- If you're testing for fail state, sure.
