Elon Musk has sent an email to Spacex employees with a notice to navigators: the company does not go well and we must accelerate the development of Raptor engines if you do not want to fall into a "genuine bankruptcy risk".These engines are part of Starship, the ship that Musk wants to use to go to Mars.

"We need to recover what a disaster is frankly"

In CNBC they have been able to read the letter, which details how Musk asks that there is a flight tests of the Raptor at least twice a month throughout 2022.That is the year, in fact, in which Starship should be able to do orbital flight tests to go well.The main challenge is that for that 39 Raptor engines are needed, which has not yet been tested.

Elon himself has canceled his holiday plans that he had thought around thanksgiving, saying that everyone's help is needed for what he according to him is "frankly a disaster".The first orbital tests should be done in two or three months, although it is already warned that not everything has to go well to the first.

All this affects Starlink, Musk's satellite internet service.This grows in users, but it depends precisely on Starship flights to continue sending the most satellite space.And the agenda is not precisely clear: the license they have to do so has an expiration and if they exceed it they will stop offering the service.Goodbye users, goodbye income, goodbye to financing.

Everything revolves around the Raptor engines, which depends on the space agenda of Musk and its companies.Or the starship starts satellites into space, or problems will begin to appear in this space race between private companies that have been watching for a while.
