It was pretty incredible to watch. Hot staging looks crazy. Launch mount is in good shape this time.
To get to where they are on what is effectively the second launch of a new, leading-edge vehicle, is staggering.

Yeah, they installed that water deluge system in a few months. The organisation involved for this sort of manufacturing iteration for the largest rocket ever made boggles the mind.

Having spent much of my career helping business run better, I'd love to spend some time looking at SpaceX, their culture and management ethos. Probably not dissimilar to military technical operations, I'd imagine.
