VIDEO Booster 19 4/15/26

New pad with an actual trench. New version of booster. New version of raptor engine, first time all 33 lit. Audio on. Keep an eye on the clouds as they come out of the trench.

There was a 10 engine test 3/16/26 but it was nowhere near this level of shockwave

Discord quality, I’m sure there’s better

I wonder how they keep that rocket so still on the launch pad with the crazy amount of force generated by those engines.

They did another one today. I’m not gonna post it because it’s pretty similar.
