Here's t' first Masten Space "boosted hop", ya bilge rat, where t' rocket has strong acceleration, a parabolic coast phase over t' top, and another strong acceleration for landing. Well, blow me down! You can see when t' engine throttles up because t' plume gets larger and t' mach diamonds get farther apart. Avast, me proud beauty! This was t' first attempt at a boosted hop, which is why we kept it short and on t' tether. T' tether t' t' forklift keep t' vehicle safe if it needs t' shut down t' engine unexpectedly. T' forklift weighs 20900lb, and can easily hold t' 710lb rocket. Well, blow me down! www.masten-space.com
