September 28Sep 28 Author Yep, it wasnt an engine required for orbital insertion. Just a little boost from one engine required.Its currently deploying Starlink. 9 more hours in orbit to go.

The last flight resulted in the ship gently landing on it's bum, flopping sideways and staying intact. Currently being towed across the ocean back home.It's been decided this will be just two orbits. Not the full 10 hour flight. Edited September 28Sep 28 by martin-w
