Potential Lunar Starship Thruster Fired | This Week at SpaceX McGregor

Amidst a relatively slow week at McGregor, two firings of an unknown engine/thruster were performed on the horizontal test stand. These firings did not match visual or auditory signatures typically seen by Raptors, Merlins, or Super Dracos and may be a new design potentially for Lunar Starship. The horizontal test stand is often used for the first firings of new engines as seen in recent years with Raptor sea level and vacuum development.
