Waiting to find out the reasons for the premature shutdowns, and for pics of the steel plates...

Great to see the test campaign swing back into action!

I'm hoping this test was mostly for the deluge system, not the booster, so they were running with extra safe engine shutdown limits. That's just blind hope, though.
