They&amp;#x27;re not supposed to be trying to &amp;quot;land&amp;quot; this one, but I bet they&amp;#x27;re getting aero data in support of the F9-R.&lt;p&gt;All in all, looks like a good launch. Can&amp;#x27;t wait to hear about the second burn, which was last flight&amp;#x27;s sticking point.</text></comment>
