You have no idea just how many people told me that vehicle would failure just after MaxQ.

Well it's Vandenberg after all.
Do they need to re-chill before a relight? iirc they were going to relight and burn to depletion after all payloads away.
Ok, so we'll wait for Cassiope and first stage news, but that was very impressive. You have no idea just how many people told me that vehicle would failure just after MaxQ.

None of the world's other companies in this business throttle information this way. Did anyone from MDA even attend this launch? You wouldn't know it from the webcast. - Ed Kyle
Very strange coverage! It seemed like the loss of signal happened everytime they went to the infrared view of the engine.
