I'm eager to see how they'll address the nozzle warping. I wonder if they would do a short reentry burn after all, or whether changes to the flight profile or engine shielding would be sufficient.
With the changes in raptor 3 getting rid of the heat shields I'm wondering what this means as well. It warped with a heat shield. Prior to this, they didn't think raptor 3 needed one, but does this change things?
