I’d be interested in seeing what kind of telemetry they were able to glean off this...
Just amazing what they were able to accomplish. Iterative design isn’t for everyone... but Elon and his crew are showing its efficacy for certain.
Agree. Elon Musk set the iterative design rules in place for his numerous companies. For example, at Tesla they constantly test and tweak changes in their current car models, unlike other car makers that wait years to incorporate accumulated changes into a different model.
As for analyzing telemetry, that has to be a major undertaking by numerous staff at SpaceX. It would be interesting to analyze the strain on connections and components as the craft gyrated during flight. Not just that, but the ability to continue providing pressurized fuel to the engines as the tanks gyrated. I'm sure they'll figure out why those two engines flamed out during flight (in addition to the three that failed at liftoff).
