Amazing flight... the ground support adjustments seem to have made a significant difference

All 33 Raptors lit on the booster and made it to staging... didn't lose any during launch

Hot staging seemed to work like hoped

And the new FTS systems seemed to actually terminate the flights when needed

Still work to do for SpaceX... but today was an amazing success... likely got much further in the flight profile than anyone could've hoped

Unfortunately it's time to start working on another FAA anomaly report

But if there is no significant damage to the ground support equipment... the time before the next launch should be much shorter

The reason fish & wildlife was so interested in this launch was the new deluge system... if no big changes are needed to that then F&W won't have much to look at before the next
