SpaceX 星舰猛禽号在测试中再次爆炸，到底发生了什么？星际基地发生巨大变化！
大家好，再次见面！

SpaceX's Raptor engine exploded during testing. While this sounds alarming, it likely isn't a major issue. In fact, it may represent an important step in preparing for future lunar missions.

Meanwhile, significant progress continues at SpaceX's Starbase, with upgrades and development advancing rapidly. At the same time, in China, preparations for the Shenzhou 22 rocket launch for the Tiangong space station appear to be underway.

Let’s explore all these developments in today's "Great SpaceX" segment.

SpaceX 的猛禽发动机在测试过程中发生了爆炸。虽然这听起来令人担忧，但很可能不是个大问题。事实上，这可能代表着为未来登月任务做准备的重要一步。

与此同时，SpaceX 的 Starbase 持续取得显著进展，升级和开发进展迅速。与此同时，在中国，神舟 22 号火箭发射天宫空间站的准备工作似乎正在进行中。
让我们在今天的《伟大的 SpaceX》节目中探讨所有这些发展。

When discussing SpaceX’s Starship system, it’s natural to think of Starbase—the bustling hub where assembly, testing, and launch operations converge. It’s the visible core of the Starship project, showcasing the complexity, scale, and ambition of SpaceX’s next-generation space system. However, it’s equally important to remember that engine-related activities are continuously underway in McGregor, Texas, crucial to the success of every Starship mission.

谈到 SpaceX 的星舰系统，自然会想到星基地——组装、测试和发射作业汇聚的繁忙枢纽。这是星舰项目的显眼核心，展示了 SpaceX 下一代航天系统的复杂性、规模和雄心壮志。然而，同样重要的是要记住，在德克萨斯州麦格雷戈，发动机相关活动正在持续进行，对每一次星舰任务的成功至关重要。

This is where the Raptor engine, the power source of Starship, is tested, refined, and pushed to its limits before ever leaving the ground.

这里是星舰动力引擎猛禽发动机被测试、完善并推至极限的地方，才会离开地面。

Recently, a Raptor 3 engine exploded during testing in McGregor. While an engine explosion may sound shocking, it’s not entirely unexpected in SpaceX’s development process. What makes this event notable is that the explosion occurred during engine ignition, rather than during the extended static fires more common in past incidents. Observing a failure at ignition naturally raises questions about potential engine defects, whether due to localized manufacturing issues or design changes.

最近，一台猛禽 3 发动机在麦格雷戈测试时发生爆炸。虽然看到发动机爆炸听起来令人震惊，但在 SpaceX 的开发过程中，这并不完全意外。此次事件的特别之处在于，爆炸发生在发动机启动期间，而非过去事件中更常见的长时间静态火灾。观察发动机启动时故障自然引发关于发动机是否存在缺陷的问题，可能是局部制造问题或设计变更。

Despite initial concerns, this suggests a low probability of a systemic problem. The Raptor engine has undergone extensive testing, and previous prototypes have demonstrated impressive reliability. This points to two possible scenarios: either this was an isolated issue with a single engine, or SpaceX intentionally conducted a high-pressure test to uate the engine’s limits. Given SpaceX’s history of deliberately stress-testing to ensure mission readiness, the latter explanation seems most plausible.

尽管最初存在担忧，但这表明系统性问题的可能性很低。猛禽发动机经过了广泛的测试，之前的原型机也展现出令人印象深刻的可靠性。这暗示了两种可能的可能情况：要么这是单个发动机的孤立问题，要么 SpaceX 故意进行了高压测试以评估发动机的极限。考虑到 SpaceX 为确保任务准备而故意进行压力测试的历史，后一种解释最为可能。
