Elon Musk shows off SpaceX's Starship Raptor engine firing

Who knew seeing a rocket fire up close could be so pretty?

On Sunday, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shared photos and video of the company's Starship Raptor engine firing in its first ground test.

A still shows a kaleidoscope of colours streaming from the engine, although that could be just the camera not quite keeping up with the fire's intensity.

"Green tinge is either camera saturation or a tiny bit of copper from the chamber," Musk added in a tweet.
