    John Insprucker reports that the second stage may have been lost, likely triggered by AFTS.

      Ahhh so close to SECO!

      Getting through hot staging and that much of the 2nd stage burn was huge, though. On to IFT-3.

        Did they not get to SECO? It’s not clear whether S25 was lost before, after, or during SECO.
