Here's t' first Masten Space "boosted hop", me bucko, where t' rocket has strong acceleration, arrr, a parabolic coast phase over t' top, shiver me timbers, and another strong acceleration for landing. You can see when t' engine throttles up because t' plume gets larger and t' mach diamonds get farther apart. Aye aye! This be t' first attempt at a boosted hop, which is why we kept it short and on t' tether. Avast! T' tether t' t' forklift keep t' vehicle safe if it needs t' shut down t' engine unexpectedly. Aye aye! T' forklift weighs 20900lb, and can easily hold t' 710lb rocket. www.masten-space.com
