How many WRaptors could a WRaptor Wrapper Wrap, if a WRaptor Wrapper could Wrap WRaptors?
Yesterday we saw 2 Wrapped WRaptors heading past at McGregor!
(P.S. Raptor and Wrapped don't look like words anymore)

- Time to thank the 33 engines on Booster 9 that are now in the gulf of mexico (in many differnt parts).
- New High Score! Earlier today we saw not one, not two, not three but four Raptor 3's roll past at McGregor! This included R3.54 which is a new high score for seen R3's! This seems to indicate a big shift in the speed at which R3 is being tested! 📷: nsf.live/mcgregor
- Earlier today we saw an R3 leave the test area with a very dark coating and green valve shielding! 📷: nsf.live/mcgregor
- 4 more out of McGregor! They've been busy, R3.63, R3.57, R3.58 and R3.47 leaving the McGregor test area! 📷: nsf.live/mcgregor
- Another R3 appears! This time spotted at McGregor in the latest @NASASpaceflight video! R16! Interesting to get to see that all R3's wont get the shiny black bell (kinda expected) but also the mounting system used (at least for the test stands)
- yea yea, engines from the bottom of the sea, bla bla bla IS THAT 2 R284s!!!!!!!!!!!! IM SORRY WHAT!!!!!!! (In all seriousness if anyone knows whats going on please let me know, I have no idea how to graph this)
NSF's Gary Blair spots some of Booster 11's recovered engines at SpaceX McGregor during his latest flypast the test facility. nsf.live/mcgregor - Yet another Raptor 3 Record! Another 4 engines moved at McGregor, R64, R60, R62 and an unknown engine! 📷: nsf.live/mcgregor
- R3:4 (Raptor 3 R4) has made its appearance at McGregor!
NSF's Gary Blair flew past SpaceX's McGregor test site and spotted a Raptor 3 on one of the test stands. Raptor 3 is expected to be the engine of choice for Starship later in 2025. McGregor is the most active rocket engine test site in the world. . x.com/ENNEPS/status/… - New R3 Record! R3.35 has just been delivered to the testing area at McGregor! 📷: nsf.live/mcgregor
- R4 has just been spotted leaving the Raptor North test stand! We had previously seen this engine installed on the horizontal test stand during a flyover. It is likely it was being used to actually test the new stand rather than be tested itself! 📷: nsf.live/mcgregor
- Earlier today we saw R39 leave the test area at McGregor, having seen R37 and R38 over the last few days this feels like a good pace! 📷: nsf.live/mcgregor
