SpaceX Raptor will be more efficient since its full flow staged combustion cycle. Its twin turbines can also run cooler (and with less wear) without sacrificing efficiency. Suprised Blue origin hasn't tried to do full flow staged engine.
@@5893MrWilson They are different for gods sakes. Whatever efficiency Raptor has is in the low single digit percetages if not lower Just because Raptor CAN run cooler doesnt mean it WILL run cooler. Raptor is smaller and uses more effort to get to the same place where the BE-4 is designed to run easy
@@purona2500 the first thing to break on most rocket engines is the turbine inside the turbo pumps. Because full flow runs one turbine oxi rich and the other fuel rich and combines them at the end there is no effeciency cost to running them richer and therefore cooler. Cooler turbines means lower likelihood of cracking and engine failure. There are other aspects of rocket engines but the full flow turbo configuration seems like a no brainer to me. Maybe it's harder to engineer but you get both higher effeciency and higher reliability
i think the merlin is the most reliable engine or the rs 25. this engine will have to do over 300 flawless launches/fireing to even get close. good luck to them.

That’s nice and all but you’re late space X Knew all about the problems and issues that a oxygen/methane engine brings to the table they are 100 steps ahead of you guys this is nothing impressive , besides SpaceX pumps out I think it was 7 Raptor 2 engines a week and how many do you guys produce like 1 or 2 in how long?
If SpaceX didn't exist, Blue Orgin would be the darling of the space community. Re-used sub orbital rocket, new Rockets, new engines, moon lander... But SpaceX does exist... Come on BO you guys have some cool shit, looking forward to it, Go Team Space!!!
SpaceX is programmed for failure. What they do now is nothing special and is done since decades, more the USA paying a hell lot of money for it, because they don't want to pay Russia. But the Mars plans are just ridiculous. Maybe in some decades, maybe earlier, depending on how AI and alike developes plus robotics, but what Space X is promising is a complete farce.
It's not really copying SpaceX. The idea of a liquid methane powered rocket has been bouncing around since the 60s and 70s, with the first large one being built in 2007 by XCOR, about 9 years before the Raptor.
The internet loves to hate on you, Blue, but once you have actual heritage under your belt, you will truly be a formidable player, and I believe will be in a great position to be the most active, successful spaceflight company in history. Just don't mess up. And stop pretending to be cool. You'll be cool when you reach orbit.
Grumman Aerospace never launched anything into orbit, yet they built a great lunar lander for Apollo. Blue bit off a lot to work on, and they're beginning to deliver and all despite some setbacks.
I want blue origin to speed up for a very specific reason. It's not about having any preference between musk and besos. It's about being tired being surrounded by people who think only musk wants to send 10000 satellites in LEO. Elon was just the first one ready to start. Jeff also wants to do it, and also started already, but everyone accuses Elon because ... Only Elon communicates about it, and he is the only one actually sending 240+ sats per month. People don't understand that Jeff has exactly the same intentions, and *will* do the same when he is ready.

Please increase your rate of production/iteration/and test flights.. how do you ever expect to actually compete with SpaceX being so many years behind? Go blow more rockets up so you can figure it out.. the rate of production and iteration is painfully slow.

@@Syritis Oh silly manchild! I have access to a lot you don't via NASAspaceflight's members only forum! Also, NSF has live feeds of McGregor and the Raptors don't test a dozen times a day. They may do a single test that starts and restarts an engine, but they aren't testing a dozen times, nor a dozen engines daily. You're just a stupid liar and you deserve to be openly mocked!

@@JigilJigil It's also competing with the falcon heavy, which can carry 60,000 kg to Leo. Starship can carry upwards of 100kg to Leo, more than double the capacity of new glenn.
@@axilton2743 Well vertical tests are better at reproducing the stress the engine will experience during a launch. Also as the start sequence of rocket engines is extremely complex and precise (and prolly even more for be-4), this simple change of position could mean different data to input in the sequence. I mean it's supposed to be a re-usable engine so these small details account for a LOT to make it durable, and i'm just baffled that they would deliver 2 of these to ULA when we still havent seen them fire and propulse anything upright yet.

I think Blue will figure out landing New Glenn pretty quickly though, and it uses 7 engines to Vulcan's 2, so *most* BE-4s will still end up being reused.
Wishing you all the best!
And we are almost as good as raptor!!
The fanboys disguised as "Space enthusiasts" already hitting the comment section. They sound as casuals that all of the suddenly are Rocket experts. Instead of sounding as some Soccer supporters pushing for their Team while bashing others, they should be pushing for Team Space.
Good luck. Throughout the 2020's (started 2 years ago?).
Nice marketing video but where's the working product? We've seen Raptors work countless times, and even perform take-offs and landings. Still waiting for BE4.
We've seen most of those Raptors blow up, both in those Starship flights and on the stand. BE-4 is literally only months away from boosting an orbital launch.
@@nowhereman1046 lol, you obviously don't know shit about what you say. spaceX test upto a dozen raptors DAILY, and only a handful have failed. BO on the other hand, doesn't even have the balls to show the public anything other then well choreographed marketing PR.
@@Syritis Oh silly manchild! I have access to a lot you don't via NASAspaceflight's members only forum! Also, NSF has live feeds of McGregor and the Raptors don't test a dozen times a day. They may do a single test that starts and restarts an engine, but they aren't testing a dozen times, nor a dozen engines daily.
You're just a stupid liar and you deserve to be openly mocked!
@@nowhereman1046 BAHAHAH you don't think i'm on those forums too. youre so full of shit, pull your head out of you ass and stop acting like a goof.
@@Syritis I doubt you are. You're likely just lying. If you are tell me what's the latest on the paid-for members only forums.
Starship and New Glenn will define a new era of space capabilities.
New Glenn can't be compared to the starship. It's competing with the f9 and falcon heavy. (Even the falcon heavy can carry about 20,000 more kgs to leo)
@@morbus5726 It's not competing with F9, New Glenn can carry 45000 kg to orbit (LEO), it's almost three time the F9, (reusable F9 carries 16t).
@@JigilJigil It's also competing with the falcon heavy, which can carry 60,000 kg to Leo.
Starship can carry upwards of 100kg to Leo, more than double the capacity of new glenn.
Boo!!! Raptor for the win!
And only a few years behind schedule!!!
Is your engine raptor engine?
One word. Raptor
get enough test in with that pointed west might make the day shorter. lol
Great. Now go fly the thing and prove it.
Glossy Brochure
BE-4 is good, but Raptor is the king.
Great! Stop playing with it and strap it to the rocket and test it! Good idea?
Meanwhile, there's been only crickets from Blue Origin about the cause of the New Shepard launch failure back in September.
this need to be said louder
Im excited to see these engines fly!
Now we wanna see it go boom
2066 launch!
Cool but you can mention Vulcan. The fact that Vulcan will also be using this engine is a good thing. Right?
I think your turbopumps are under too much stress. Bad for reusability
I'm sure they will take notes.
too bad.. all the LNG has gone to Europe.....
*Launch when?* 🤔
Send it up.
Ok but what's aft-r?
Built in Kent... ???? not in that giant facility in Huntsville?????
Starship isn't real. It can't hurt you
OMG how cool, now fly it please
If blue origin can produce one of these engines per day then they'll be able to compete with SpaceX.
You can watch Raptor testing pretty much continuously.
There's lots and lots of satellite imagery of BE-4 weekly test firings, if you go look for it.
*cough* Raptor 2. Seriously though, I'm glad to see this moving along. The future looks bright for space launch. 🙂
They don't know what they are doing.
Still no vertical testing? This will come back to bite you!
?
@@axilton2743 Well vertical tests are better at reproducing the stress the engine will experience during a launch.
Also as the start sequence of rocket engines is extremely complex and precise (and prolly even more for be-4), this simple change of position could mean different data to input in the sequence.
I mean it's supposed to be a re-usable engine so these small details account for a LOT to make it durable, and i'm just baffled that they would deliver 2 of these to ULA when we still havent seen them fire and propulse anything upright yet.
I hope for them they did but just didnt show it, but if successful then why wouldn't they?
(sorry for coming out of the woodwork with this 😅 i just came back to this video today and realized i didn't answer at the time)
@@lanatsif space x also does this but ok.
@@axilton2743 Well yes spacex (like other companies) also tests their engines on a vertical test stand, i'm just wondering if blue origin did because it was never shown in the case of BE-4
@@lanatsif you can’t do multiple test in one day. So that’s why they not doing Vertical tests. Plus majority does horizontal tests and it’s more secure
not a word about Vulcan and 2022 being a miss
Yessssss👍🏾
Sooooo exciting!!
