    54 minutes.

    -Autogenous pressurization worked
    -Fight termination system took too long to rupture tanks
    -Damage to pad not as bad as thought.
    -3 engines turned off prior to liftoff, not healthy enough to bring to
    full thrust, so shutdown.
    - T+27: Engine 19 "lost communications" concurrent with some kind of
    energetic event that "liberated" heat shields from engines 17,18,19,20 area. T+62: Heat shield damage at engine 30, but engine still running.
    (cont)
    T+85 Things really hit the fan.
    Engine 6: loss of comms to thrust vector conrol and from that point,
    thruist vector control s=lost for all other engines with it (only 13
    engines in inside have gimbals for steering);
    -Don't think at this point the "rock tornado" at launch pad caused
    engine damage.
    -May shorten time to ignite engine and release rocket at pad. This time,
    the rocket was held for some time before released to take better look an
    engine performance.
