In other SpaceX news, company CEO Elon Musk presented an update to the press on the Starship the evening of February 10. In the presentation, which we watched so you don’t have to, Musk restated the justification for the program and some key statistics and showed the progress of Raptor 2, an upgraded version of the Raptor engine. Like a typical Musk presentation, it was heavy on raunchy jokes and light on details; this was not a NASA update. He did mention that SpaceX would move Starship operations to the Cape if the FAA does not give them their launch license for Boca Chica soon.
