The goal for this flight was not to reach orbit, and they said that 30 seconds would be a perfect launch. They managed 20 seconds and say they look at it as a successful first launch.

Now I’m looking forward to watching the next test.

It misses the pad, surprised it wasn't scuttled in the air.

I feel like the FTS shouldve triggered, but its possible it was too low, and wouldve cause significant shrapnel risk.
