Description: Join the other 8 million learners today and give Brilliant a try: brilliant.org/primalspace Thanks for all of your support, the Primal Space poster sale has now ended. With Starship almost ready to do its first ever orbital test flight, it will rely on help from the raptor vacuum engine. But testing vacuum engines is a little bit more difficult than you’d think. This video looks at how these engines were tested in the past and how SpaceX has managed to get around the main problem.
