Woah... I just realized... will there really be any COPVs on Starship once you move on from cold gas thrusters? Is there helium spin start for raptor or is it bootstrapped?

Spin start from COPVs so the ox & fuel turbines spool up super fast in unison. A precise start with full flow staged combustion is very important.
