For any scientific test, the goals are what you state before the test.
Sure you might learn other things but that’s not the aim.
That this is a legitimate discussion now everyone’s having ..why did they do it what did they learn what was the plan….and the answer is unclear, says a lot
Well, it’s not a scientific test. They had zero launch and flight data, now they have tons. :p The extent of what they wanted to learn and what they did learn is probably never going to be known publicly. They are a private company.
