In an email to employees of the company SpaceX, Elon Musk expressed concern. In the message he sent out, Musk is said to have been angry due to the lack of progress the company has made in developing the Raptor engine that drives the Starship rocket.
– The Raptor production crisis is much worse than it looked a few weeks ago, he wrote.
The e-mail was sent out on Friday and has been obtained from the news website CNBC.

Risk of bankruptcy
Musk founded the space company SpaceX in 2002. In April, the company was awarded a billion contract with the American space organization NASA, and thus everything was in place to fulfill the dream of sending humans to both the planet Mars and the moon.

– Every man on deck
Starship, which is a prototype of the rocket Musk dreams of transporting humans into space, has already completed several short test flights.
To advance to orbital launches, the rocket prototypes need as many as 39 Raptor engines each. It requires a lot of production.
“We all need a man on deck to get out of what, quite frankly, is a disaster,” Musk wrote in the email.
