      Headline says, “Flight 6 already tested” which is misleading until you read in the article it means static test.

      only two flights, Flight 1 and Flight 4, have had engine outs on ascent. In fact, during all phases of flight for Flight 4, not a single Raptor shut down prematurely.

      Contradiction, I think they mean flight 5 had no engine outs

      I stopped reading here

        Eh, I think the distinction between test and launch is pretty clear, especially given that the article thumbnail is a photo of said statice fire.

        Oh, good catch, I missed that detail.
