~1000 flights with little maintenance?!? 🤯 What?! Seriously, what specifically about raptor makes it anywhere near capable of that compared to previous engines?! Something about the seals / bearings / materials / full flow producing max enthalpy?

Other rocket engines were designed for no (or almost no) reuse. Raptor is designed for heavy & immediate reuse, like an aircraft jet engine, with inspections required only after many flights, assuming instrumentation shows it good. Using hydrostatic bearings certainly helps.
