So this interview just wrapped up. A bunch of pretty insignificant notes:
>Next step for first launch is 20 second static fire, then full mission duty cycle on the first stage before integration
>Ellis is committed to making Terran the first he sees fly. He was at the Cape for the Atlas-Falcon double header last week but purposely looked away.
>Mentions Neutron with a derisive tone, implying that they're trying to appease investors
>Will "prioritize" Terran R but no plans to kill Terran 1 due to its "huge market"
>Considered Terran 1 reuse but won't
>Recognizes that there's more market for R than 1
>5% dry mass penalty
>Not planning on building satellites
>Is friends with Casey Handmer
>Impulse mission is light enough to fly R reusable, but won't
>No clear answer on how they'll accommodate both rockets at LC-16
>RTLS and downrange recovery for R first stage
>RTLS harder with wider diameter due to shockwaves, thinks they couldn't RTLS at a much larger size
>Second stage propulsive landing, refuses to elaborate
>Aeon R gas generator built, will be tested soon
>"definitely going to be the first to succeed on the first launch" (possible I misheard this one)
>Won't print pad infrastructure
>"cut off and reprint" when flaws occur
>"A few weeks" to launch. Date will be announced after completion of stage 1 testing
>Sounds like the Terran R reusability campaign will be similar to Falcon's?
