On March 22, 2023 Terran 1 went from earth to space encompassing many historic firsts. ✅ First methane fueled rocket in the West to reach space, well over the 100km Karman Line (only other is China) ✅ First nearly entirely 3D printed rocket to fly and prove 3D printing is viable by passing Max-Q, the max stress on the rocket ✅ First methane orbital-class rocket to successfully complete stage 1 flight, main engine cutoff, and second stage separation in the West (only other is China) ✅ First-ever second stage ignition attempt during the vacuum of flight for a methane fueled orbital rocket in the West, collected first-ever flight data. A dream turned reality. 🚀 Thanks for playing, GG. Follow along on social: Instagram: Twitter: LinkedIn: Facebook: Additional Pad Footage: @TrevorMahlmann @MichaelBaylor
