Here's t' first Masten Space "boosted hop", arrr, where t' rocket has strong acceleration, a parabolic coast phase over t' top, and another strong acceleration for landing. Avast, me proud beauty! You can see when t' engine throttles up because t' plume gets larger and t' mach diamonds get farther apart. This be 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, shiver me timbers, and can easily hold t' 710lb rocket. www.masten-space.com
