This is the announcement and actual craft for IFT-2.
Originaly scheduled for March 31st, but was moved a day earlier due to testing being futher along than was expected. Horizon lifted off at 5:38 CT from our Launch Pad 2.The booster and ship used were B11 and S20, both were Block 2 versions.
Everything went nominally until about 1000 meter above the surface where an engine went out, however this was part of the engine out test originally planned for IFT-1.
B11 propelled Ship 20 into space and had a nominal separation during hotstaging.
B11 started its boostback burn while S20 continued on into space.
S20 achieved orbit while B11 started up its entry burn.
On landing for the booster though, the booster lost control prior to landing burn and was horizontal at ignition, sadly on landing burn only one of the engines ignited and the booster crashed into the ocean.
A few seconds later the ship tried to reach a more circular orbit but encountered a RUD ending the mission.
The FAA has right now grounded Horizon

@Sammyboi23475 i mean for the interstage you could make a starship like thing, so use a cargo bay and then place struts on those cargobays use the rotate tool to rotate them x12 or 20 and place an interstage on top wich makes it look like starships HLS

Ho, love the rocket also you're getting better and better, one thing i noticed is maybe improve the interstage between the first and second stage
