  4. When it first activates it's inner engines it's travelling at 1273 km/h, about 7.75 seconds later it's travelling 250 km/h on 3 engines, so the average acceleration was about -3.75 g, so for almost 8 seconds it weighed about 937 tons even though it's probably more since it burned a lot of fuel decelerating

  5. I am from Indonesia, while my country is still busy arguing over trivial matters that do not need to be debated, America (in this case the SpaceX team) has created miracles that have never been imagined.
    Congratulations to all the crew for their hard work.
