SpaceX's Starship fired all 33 Raptor engines simultaneously, producing 74 million newtons of thrust—more than double the Saturn V's 35 million. Peter Diamandis notes it took humanity 55 years to double its most powerful machine, and argues that with AI compressing timelines, the next doubling won't take 55 years—or even 5.
