Between this flight & Grasshopper tests, I think we now have all the pieces of the puzzle to bring the rocket back home.

Rocket booster relit twice (supersonic retro & landing), but spun up due to aero torque, so fuel centrifuged & we flamed out

Launch was good. All satellites deployed at the targeted orbit insertion vectors.

Looks good for a launch attempt today. Upper winds slightly exceed loads in high subsonic regime, but improving.

Good Hyperloop feedback from Ansys. Am excited by how much it can be improved by open src contributions!

Am happy to hear that GM plans to develop an affordable 200 mile range electric car. Right target. Hope others do same.

Approach is 360 deg flush mounted tiny cameras + radar (prob not lidar). Lot of software & hardware level image processing.

Full thrust achieved on 2 sec static fire. Some anomalies to be investigated, so launch date tbd.

Upcoming Falcon 9 demo has a lot of new technology, so the probability of failure is significant
