[i]The plan is to take the booster over to Launch Complex 39A, the Apollo 11 launch site that we lease from NASA and do a static fire at the launch pad there, to confirm that all systems are good and that we are able to do a full thrust hold-down firing of the rocket. And then I think we'll probably keep this one on the ground just because it's kind of unique, it is the first one we brought back. So I think we'll keep this one on the ground for tests that prove it could fly again and then put it somewhere just because it is quite unique. I think we'll end up re-flying one of the subsequent boosters. We have quite a big flight manifest. We should be doing well over a dozen flights next year. I think probably sometime next year we would aim to re-fly one of the rocket boosters.[/i]
