On the other hand, the whole point of testing is to find these issues and fix them before the real flight.
I wonder if they will do another test before orbital.
I mean, I get the hardware rich testing mindset, but I thought the engine design was supposed to be stabilizing and getting more reliable. You have to admit that losing 4 engines in under 3 seconds isn't great.
Yeah, it’s not exactly ideal. Let’s hope the root cause isn’t a big issue.
