What do we know about the test?
Nice! - But that camera (on the water tower?) needs to be attached better - did they cut off that angle because it fell off?
I noticed the rainbird on top of the pad didn't activate. I'd assume it was deliberately deactivated since the rocket wasn't leaving the pad?

What is this rainbird that you speak of?It is a sound suppression system that works by throwing a wall of water around the engine. It does looks like the watering system of a car wash.

I never heard it called rainbird I'm guessing that was some king of joke name? Like referring to the Atlantic as "the pond"?Thanks!Skip
