[QUOTE="Ramjet, post: 472831, member: 214"] From Elon on twitter. B1048 booster used on today's mission was the hottest landing attempt ever. This booster will now be used for the Crew Dragon high altitude abort test in April. That's a FAST turn around. It will be the last flight for this booster. If it doesn't get destroyed buy the forces of the test they will hit the self destruct button. The high altitude abort test will happen at Max Q. The point at which the highest aerodynamic pressure is pushing back against the rocket. The Crew Dragon will fire the abort, escape engines and take off. Proving it can keep the future crews safe at any point in the flight. It is thought that this may destroy the first stage. [/QUOTE]
