Just about last few week I watched the 1-hour long investigation of Booster and found it interesting that the raptor engines are very toxic. I have to say, the booster teams is probably the most hard-working team for starship development. It is interesting that the Raptors actually send polluted O2 into the Booster LOX tank and creates dry ice, those dry ice are denser than LOX, and eventually sink to the bottom, causing the blockage of the filters that is located above the Raptor fuel flanges. This is trully beyond my expectations as I thought the Booster may suffer from some FODs, because the workers didn't pay much attention on keeping the inner tank clean (building in tents). I wonder if Raptor 3 can solve this contamination issue, by extracting some LOX that is prior to the preburner.
