"The Ohio crew had a scary moment when their N/O lit immediately upon
hooking it up. It catoed a hundred feet up or so; thankfully not on
the pad. After the smoke & dust cleared, the Bill Goods and Gary
Dickinson appeared unscathed."

I'm really curious how that happened but no one wants to talk about it.
The O25000 is impressive. Burned out at 500 feet and coasted to 29000.

Would make a good strap on for getting a full amateur slow liquid off
the pad. That's 5620 lbf of thrust, for the imperial.
