A C++ launch, having left the new launch tower intact, and made it past Max Q before exploding.

There was only a 1 previous booster test for 5 seconds with 31 engines firing. Full thrust of 33 through the launch was not assured.

Making it past Max Q or Maximum Mechanical Stress was another huge milestone. Separation would have been the next milestone.

Great success, SpaceX!

Next tine will be even more successful in the test-to-failure cycle.

A C++ launch

Was it object-oriented?
