It survived?!?! IT SURVIVED!!! And they even fired it at sea level without vacuum conditions (a giant tube)!!! @elonmusk how did it hold up at sea level without flow separation?! It looks like it has a big expansion ratio! 🤯

@elonmusk

107 expansion ratio. You can a little bit of flow separation towards the end of the nozzle.
