SpaceX test-fired the 33 Raptor engines on the Starship rocket's Super Heavy booster on Monday .
The methane-fueled engines fired for about eight seconds , long enough for SpaceX engineers to verify all systems functioned normally.
At full power, the 33 engines generated nearly 17 million pounds of thrust, twice the power output of NASA 's Saturn V Moon rocket.
SpaceX will also use the fifth Starship test flight to test an upgraded heat shield on the ship, or upper stage.
