R to @Austen: The @boringcompany wasn’t even trying hard to achieve 4500 pax/hr. Could easily do >10k/hr.

Raptor V3 just achieved 350 bar chamber pressure (269 tons of thrust). Congrats to @SpaceX propulsion team!

Starship Super Heavy Booster has 33 Raptors, so total thrust of 8877 tons or 19.5 million pounds.
