Meridian

Ailerons that finish a roll, and enough elevator for a loop. The banked hoop on the east course is yours.

Slow, short, and happy between the houses. Rudder matters. The bridge is a low pass, not a guess.

Hop load, not an orbital stack: 22.2 t dry, 58 t propellant, nine Merlin 1Ds at 7,607 kN. One engine hovers near full throttle. Three and nine stay above one g even at the 57% floor.

The ship, not the booster. It leaves from the chopsticks, not the mount. Header-tank hop: one sea-level Raptor hovers, three will not. In the air the flaps hold a sixty-degree belly flop until you pitch out of it.
