    More than 1 million viewers at the time it was supposed to launch!

    Disappointing that there were still snafus at zero time even though
    they had test fueled and test fired both stages.

    Ah, well, it lived to fly another day. Booster C+, Ship A-.

    The booster had flip problems staging. It's too early to say whether
    the calculations of thrust assymetry for Ship startup were wrong, or
    the startup didn't go as planned, or something else caused it to go
    sideways.

    Unfortunately, views of the booster on it's return were limited because
    it failed the boost back burn and was out of range of most assets. And
    was that failure due to the wrong flip or some other problem?
