musk: So, flight 2 actually almost made it to orbit. So, in fact, ironically if it had a payload, it would have made it to orbit because the reason that it actually didn’t quite make it to orbit was we vented the liquid oxygen. And the liquid oxygen [inaudible] led to fire and an explosion, because we wanted to vent the liquid oxygen because we normally wouldn’t have that liquid oxygen if we had a payload. So, ironically, if it had a payload, it would have reached orbit. And so I think we’ve got a really got shot of reaching orbit with flight 3, and then a rapid cadence to achieve full and rapid reusablity.
wut?!?
