“@DebbieViviers @SpaceX Yes, upper stage venting of liquid oxygen created a fast moving fuzzy white sphere in space over SA”
“Between this flight & Grasshopper tests, I think we now have all the pieces of the puzzle to bring the rocket back home.”
“Rocket booster relit twice (supersonic retro & landing), but spun up due to aero torque, so fuel centrifuged & we flamed out”
