From a fully fueled abort to a successful launch and landing in one afternoon...wow! I had given up after the abort and, surprise, surprise,
Not a perfect landing, but it sure was better than the last two.
I should get up at 3 am to watch the Starlink launch...nahhh

Fuel leak, methane explosion. Sure forced it up into the air like it was launching again.
