Next time it will do a full orbit! This flight was good progress

It was definitely impressive to see a single shock dimond the size of the entire booster. Didn’t blow up the launch pad either so they should be able to try again sooner to.

Seeing the pad improvements in action and all the 1st stage engines working through stage sep was such a relief. Hot staging working and the 2nd stage getting a mostly (?) successful burn was a great next step.

Hopefully we're only a couple months away from IFT-3!
