2/ Meanwhile, most of the #HLV rockets in development use large engines, ie, #BE4 & #Vulcain
Perhaps @spacex could sell the #SpaceXRaptor2 to launch providers to enable reuse
@sciguyspace wrote earlier that #Raptor production is now at 1 engine per day and may be ready to meet demand from other #HLV launch providers as #ITAR permits
Read Eric's reporting on Raptor production

Are #SpaceXRaptor2 engines available for sale to other launch companies?
That might disrupt a few business models!
And #HLV rocket designs to get free of engine supply constraints.
