First stage seemed to do pretty well. Haven’t seen a blue flame like that before. Had a nice roar for being so small too.

gotta give that second stage engine props for trying so damn hard
also if it had ignited it would have been so damn pretty

It looked like successful ignition then something started burning inside the engine
with several sparks too

yeah, imagine it’s a carbon copy of VO and they had a fuel filter clog a line leading towards in sufficient prop being fed to sustain combustion

They've shown that their production method is usable. Time will tell if it's going to be practical with cost.

Still did better than I expected. Was really expecting a rud on Max Q.

I'm still curious about possible material flaws introduced in the manufacturing process. That's where I would expect to see a problem. If it is a problem, it's certainly not too bad of one.

idk why they seemed to be saying that was the big barrier, I don't think we've seen another rocket in the past couple decades break apart at max q with no other issues

because it’s a completely novel way of building the thing so it hasn’t really been tested in flight before
basically it validated their sims and models that it’d make it through
because if it didn’t then it would be a massive issue for them
also, notably they didn’t have a pad fallback which makes me very very happy to see

Melting metal changes its properties. I'm no expert in metallurgy, but I can see how they could have a lot of weak points.
hushed granite
fair enough

Obviously that didn't cause a problem with this flight, and I'm sure they designed everything with that in mind.
They had good luck and it seems everyone had fun, so the mission was a success.
