Those are some impressive numbers! R-Boost sound incredible!!! But what’s currently running developmentally on SN5/6/8 is a little lower bad right? More like 270 bar and 1.66 MN? Although I’m sure future versions will start running at higher pressures soon 👍

Those engines could go 300 bar, but would be dicey. Pushing it for near-term tests doesn’t achieve anything, but I’m confident Raptor will do 300 bar for orbital flights.
