On Tuesday, SpaceX test-fired its Super Heavy rocket for about 12 seconds, making it the longest duration firing of the massive booster so far.
Besides testing the Super Heavy and Raptor 2 capabilities, the static fire also tested the durability of the SpaceX stage zero.
After the previous test, SpaceX upgraded the Starbase launch tower and launch pad.
Sadly, the result doesn't get much better either!
There are still “concrete Problems”.
Analyze everything about this in today's episode of Alpha Tech.

SpaceX continues to prep its Starship Mars rocket for its first-ever orbital test flight, which could be coming soon.

During a "static fire" test yesterday (Nov. 29) at its South Texas facility, SpaceX ignited multiple Raptor engines on Booster 7.

The static fire occurred at 2:42 p.m. EST and lasted for 13 seconds. The test was a powerful one, suggesting it involved a healthy proportion of Booster 7's 33 Raptors. That turned out to be the case; shortly after the test, SpaceX confirmed via Twitter that Booster 7 lit up 11 of its engines. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk also said via Twitter that the test is “a little more progress to Mars.”

Earlier this month, SpaceX fired 14 Raptor engines on this booster for a few seconds, so Tuesday's test did not set a new record regarding the number of engines tested. However, this "long duration" firing is the longest period of time that so many Raptor engines have been fired at once.

This is the main goal of this test.
Besides the excellent operation of 11 Raptor 2, the important thing is that we still see debris raining down.
Please really pay attention for a few seconds here:

Seriously, SpaceX really struggles with concrete it seems.

The last test of 14 engines witnessed the concrete beneath the orbital launch Mount blasting off and raining down due to the intense heat and pressure from the engine exhaust.
