I'm curious what this green flash is, if it were Falcon 9 the no brainer answer would be TEA-TEB - but Raptor just uses spark ignitors. It was visible during engine ignition for SN10's flip maneuver, specifically when the third and final engine lit. @elonmusk @NASASpaceflight

Green flame in this context means engine is burning internal components made of copper. This is usually followed by a RUD (Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly).
