I also noted that the NG was pretty slow getting off the pad. I saw elsewhere that the TWR of the stack for the first 15 seconds was around 1.12. I think F9 is close to 1.3, and Superheavy is currently around 1.5. Reusability benefits from a much higher TWR, and low TWR is a hallmark of disposable rockets.
Watching BONG last night I was thinking if it's that slow with a light payload what is it going to be like with a full one? How far back were the engines throttled back if at all?

CATCH!
Maybe need to fix something on the Block 2 design.
From what is being said, there were so many changes that it's almost a new ship.
PostConversationNicolas@brakeyourcycleWife in Turks and Caicos just shot this video right now. Is this potential UAP?
