Certainly w/ ~1000 flights/yr of Starship, there will have to be a substantial increase of production and testing of Raptors.
Do you feel the latest Raptor is what will likely be used on mass scale? (Or are we still several iterations away?)

Raptor is evolving rapidly. Probably wouldn’t consider it to be even V1.0 until roughly engine 50, although probably engines 12+ can be retrofitted for orbital flight, especially on Super Heavy, which is less sensitive to engine variation. It just needs crazy up force!
