And, for those of you waiting, here is the money shot.
the entire flight, as long as it was, was but a *fraction* of the time spent doing the prep work on, what was publically billed by the LCO, as the most complicated launch of the weekend.

*perfect*
Perfect ignition, perfect burn, Ram-Rod straight boost, simultainious burnout, coast, perfect sustainer ignition, deployment of booster recovery then the sustainer recovery.
perfect, perfect, perfect and a MUCH awed crowed. If they never remember another launch, they will remember this one and tell tall tales about it over beer for years to come. This one is going into the book of legends that will be carried down from rocketeer to rocketeer for generations to come.
simply incredible. Thank you Carl. Thank you *very* much.
here she is!
