Let's get this over with and hope this test flight goes more smoothly
- Think it'll make it to stage sep? I bet if it does, it'll go all the way to reentry. After that... I don't have high hopes but I do hope for some juicy flamey footage!
  
  I'm 95% sure it will make it to stage sep. I'm less certain that it will make it through stage sep, as SpaceX has not previously tested hot-staging. If it makes it past stage sep though, I think it should be a smooth ride to (almost) orbit. I have no idea about reentry, but I'm sure whatever happens will be exciting.
  
  I know the first test flight was expected to splashdown in the Pacific, anyone know if that's the plan for the next flight as well?

Huzzah! One step closer to the next flight!
