Blue Origin's Upgraded BE-4 Engine somehow Better than SpaceX Raptor 3! Elon Musk's Reaction...
The race for the leading methalox engine is tighter than ever. Blue Origin’s BE-4 and SpaceX’s Raptor continue pushing modern propulsion forward. Raptor 3 held the spotlight for some time, but Blue Origin’s newly upgraded BE-4 surprised many by producing more thrust than Raptor 3.
Thrust is only one measure, yet the reveal sparked swift debate and widespread disbelief among enthusiasts.
How did Blue Origin achieve this boost? How did SpaceX and Elon Musk respond? And why do many experts still argue that the Raptor remains the stronger engine overall?
These questions take center stage in today’s episode of Great SpaceX.

First of all, when comparing the BE-4 and the Raptor 3, it is important to recognize that the BE-4 is already flying on both New Glenn and Vulcan, while the Raptor 3 has not yet begun official operational service. The latest setback involving Booster 18 will delay the installation and formal activation of the Raptor 3 engine, which means SpaceX will need more time before its next-generation engine enters full operational use.
Now let us return to the main focus of today’s discussion, which is the BE-4 engine and the significant momentum that Blue Origin has recently gained. After twenty-five years of development, testing, and gradual progress, Blue Origin appears more confident than ever. The success of the second New Glenn flight has opened the door to new opportunities and has signaled that the company is finally entering a period of accelerated advancement.

Building on this success, Blue Origin is preparing to deliver a new round of upgrades that will shape the performance of the New Glenn launch vehicle, beginning with the NG-3 mission. These plans were outlined in a detailed update published on the company’s website, which stated that Blue Origin is implementing a series of enhancements designed to increase payload capability, improve launch cadence, and strengthen overall system reliability. The list of upgrades spans propulsion, structural elements, avionics, reusability features, and recovery operations. All of these improvements will be gradually introduced on upcoming New Glenn flights starting with NG-3.
