@lukealization Max is just 3X Merlin thrust and min is ~40% of 1 Merlin. Two outer engines shut off before the center does.

Yeah, this was a three engine landing burn, so triple deceleration of last flight. That's important to minimize gravity losses.

Rocket reentry is a lot faster and hotter than last time, so odds of making it are maybe even, but we should learn a lot either way

F9 thrust at liftoff will be raised to 1.71M lbf later this year. It is capable of 1.9M lbf in flight.

@lukealization No cross feed. It would help performance, but is not needed for these numbers.

@lukealization No physical changes to the engine. This thrust increase is based on delta qual tests. It is just tougher than we thought.

@elonmusk Max performance numbers are for expendable launches. Subtract 30% to 40% for reusable booster payload.

@mattyteare Basically current, but higher throttle setting. Good performance of recent launches allows us to reduce 3 sigma reserve margin.
