  8. To address the issue on upcoming flights, engines on the #Starship’s upper stage will receive additional preload on key joints, a new nitrogen purge system, and improvements to the propellant drain system. Future upgrades to Starship will introduce the #Raptor3 engine which will include additional reliability improvements to address the failure mechanism spacex.com/updates/#flight-8-r
