T' second flight o' t' day, shiver me timbers, flight 27 on Masten Space Systems' XA-0.1B-750 vertical takeoff, matey, vertical landin' rocket vehicle. Aye aye! T' vehicle hovers higher this time, t' make less o' a crater in t' concrete, ya bilge rat, then descend at 90 seconds, ya bilge rat, hovers briefly, matey, and 'lands'. This flight was a bit less than two hours after t' first one. T' wind had picked up at this point, me bucko, and was reported t' have gusts t' 26 knots, which is 30 miles per hour. B leans into t' wind and keeps flying.
