July 11Jul 11 Author 😄 Well, it will be landing in the sea which usually culminates in a big bada boom, so I suppose so.Although maybe we should see it as a test that includes an explosion.

July 11Jul 11 Yeah, somewhat disappointed at yet another boring landing in the sea. I thought we would have had a few guys wandering around on Mars by now 😉 Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester

It will be a fully reusable system.Next flight is to validate the improvements after the last flights issues. Last time was the first flight of the new version, so teething troubles could be expected.If the next flight goes well, flight 14 should be orbital.
