An incredible testament to the engineering skill and power of simulation tools that all of the crazy new capabilities tested here worked the first time (ascent, engine relight, flip and flop, flight flaps and aerodynamics on the return glide back to a precise landing spot). A softer landing should be pretty straightforward the next time around. I’ll take some pictures on site tomorrow. Check out this inbound flip and zesty “landing”: https://youtu.be/ap-BkkrRg-o?t=6868
