Everyday Astronaut does very good job explaining rocket engines, engine cycles, fuels, and why SpaceX's Raptor is "The King"!

Maybe. Maybe not. In theory its wonderful. In practice......it has its rough patches,issues, and limitations. (ask the folks that had to test and get it working over the last 6 years
)Will it be powerful and do its job? Absolutely. Will it get to Mars? Depends on funding and company vision.
20 seconds of flight time aint enough to qualify it as king..... I have hopes for it but we will see..
