[00:00:34]Switch to down range.

[00:00:48]Booster up to We're through MECO. Stage separation.

[00:01:16]There you go. Successful hot staging separation.

[00:01:22]We are not seeing as many booster engines ignite as we expected for boost back.

[00:01:27]But we are seeing six good engines lit on ship.

[00:01:31]It looks like we just had an early boost back shut down.

[00:01:34]Again, a reminder the booster was planned to essentially head into the Gulf uh for a splash down, but it has shut its engines down early on into boost back.

[00:02:28]Our backs have shut down. Sea levels are shut down.

[00:02:44]Ship FTS is saved.
