      Mission complete! Thanks again to our friends @EdwardsAFB for hosting us today. We promise, we'll leave the base cleaner than we found it. Our ground crew are moving into position shortly. 👍🏾

      After today's awesome drop, our full attention shifts to this rocket right here. Like our latest blog mentions, we'll finish mating the stages together later this month before kicking off a final series of check-outs & rehearsals in the lead-up to our orbital test flight.pic.twitter.com/aC7lGQZ9gA

          Looks like it slowly moved towards Cosmic Girl during the drop.
